Box Hill School, Mickleham

Evaluation by trial trenching in advance of new building, by T Champion and J Robinson of SCAU for Box Hill School, identified three rows of postholes. The depth at which the postholes were found suggests that they are not recent in origin, although no dating evidence was recovered.

Former Dorking Bus Garage

Resistivity survey and site watching by S P Dyer for SCAU and SCC of car park and access road construction in an area where the SyAS historic landscape survey had recorded RB pottery and evidence for medieval or later cultivation. Nothing of archaeological interest was noted. (278)

13-15 Tunsgate, Guildford

Test excavations in advance of alteration and extension of the buildings, by Graham Hayman of SCAU for Triggs Turner Investment Co, recorded several pits and some walling of 17th-18th century date. Beneath these features, pits, postholes and stake holes of late 12th-early 13th century date were found. The majority of the pits had been used for domestic rubbish disposal. One very large feature is presumed to have been produced by quarrying for chalk. Levelling into the slope for building had truncated features towards the rear of the site.
