Great Ridings Wood, Effingham

Landscape assessment by N Bannister, and volunteers from SyAS, for the Woodlands Trust, involving the recording of features identified from maps and documents, as well as previously unknown earthworks. The most frequent features recorded were banks and ditches associated with former land divisions. The lack of features relating to woodland management such as charcoal hearths, saw pits, timber extraction routes, is typical of a Post-Medieval wood in this area located on former farmland.

Green Lane, Wanborough

Remedial excavations by D Graham of SyAS on behalf of EH following a series of overnight raids by treasure hunters on the site of the Romano-Celtic temple. The illegal activity was found to have destroyed a length of the ambulatory wall, and had damaged associated archaeological levels. (361)

Hog’s Back, Sandy Cross

Excavation by members of SyAS and the North East Hampshire Archaeological Society to investigate the nature of a linear soil mark identified on a 1948 aerial photograph. Two sections were excavated of what has been interpreted as a World War II anti-tank ditch. (359, 360)

Woodham Common, Woking

Topographical survey, geophysical survey and evaluation by D Graham of SyAS, with help from volunteers of the Horsell Common Preservation Society, of and surrounding two of the Scheduled barrows on the common. The work revealed that both barrows had been badly damaged in the past. Two trenches, one of which was located to investigate one of a scatter of anomalies identified by a magnetometer survey, did not reveal any evidence of Bronze Age activity. (419)
