Survey and small scale excavation by J English of SyAS on a field system on the Common revealed a complex set of field boundaries, but no dating evidence. Soil samples were taken for soil chemistry and pollen analysis. (342)

Watching brief by J English of SyAS on drainage trench works revealed no evidence of any activity dating to earlier than the 19th century. (351)

Contour survey by D and A Graham of SyAS. The odd shape of the monument was found to be designed to take best advantage of the general slope of the land. A number of features were identified within the monument, including the likely sites of the original entrances and a number of Second World War artillery emplacements. The paths and bridleways which cross the area were found to be causing erosion of the monument in some places, and continuing tree encroachment on the site was noted as a cause for serious concern.

Contour survey by D and A Graham of SyAS in advance of proposals to fell the pine trees on the site. The monument was found to be in a relatively good state of preservation, although evidence for erosion caused by walkers and horse riders was seen. (Bulletin 350)

Evaluation by D Graham of SyAS of a mound thought to be one of the barrows mentioned by the Rev Charles Kerry, when he inspected the area in 1870. No evidence that the feature was other than a natural mound was revealed. (356)

Evaluation by T Howe for SyAS on a number of features identified during research by the Plateau Group. The location of an L-shaped enclosure ditch was confirmed by excavation. The ditch was found to have originated as a roughly V-shaped feature, approximately 1.8m wide on the surface and about 0.7m deep. In one trench, it was found to have been recut on at least one occasion; following silting up of the ditch the boundary was apparently perpetuated with a fence line evidence for which was represented by two postholes.

A sketch survey, fieldwalking and a programme of metal detecting carried out and overseen by D Williams of a medieval site excavated, but not written up, in 1972. Apart from two Bronze Age sherds, the material recovered mostly dates from the medieval period onwards. The site appears to consist of one building, at least partly of stone construction under a tiled roof, and it is possible that it may be connected in some way with a possible stone quarry that lies c 400m to the north.

Watching brief by P Sowan of SIHG during the emptying of the contents of two flare kilns and one Dietzsch kiln chamber. (SIHG 123)

Excavation by J English of SyAS as part of an ongoing landscape survey. Plough marks were noted, but thought to be a result of Second World War activities despite small amounts of prehistoric and Romano-British pottery being recovered. Further trenches recovered larger quantities of pottery, and noted two postholes (not excavated) suggestive of a Romano-British settlement in the vicinity. (354)

Excavation by the Friends of Nonsuch Society in the stable block, led to the discovery of stone foundations thought to contain re-used stone from the demolished Nonsuch Palace. Stucco from the palace’s exterior decorative scheme was also recovered.
