A watching brief on mineral extraction works was carried out by SCAU for Greenhams Ltd. In late 1994, flint blades of unusual length began to be found by the site observer, N Marples. The growing collection of tools and debitage recovered was clearly Upper Palaeolithic and was in association with animal bones. English Heritage therefore funded excavation by P Jones of SCAU. Ditches of two successive field systems and the southern arm of an early post-medieval rectilinear stock enclosure were revealed.

Watching brief by M Dover of SCAU for Streeters Sand and Gravel on topsoil stripping in advance of mineral extraction recovered a few flints but noted no archaeological features.

A watching brief by S Dyer of SCAU for Tarmac Ltd on continuing gravel extraction recovered more animal and human bone from palaeo-channels of the Thames. (289)

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU for Greenham Construction Materials and Tarmac Roadstone Ltd, of phase 4 of mineral extraction at this site, followed on from evaluation and excavation of the earlier phases in previous years. Two areas of archaeological interest, both occupying slightly elevated positions, were noted and subsequently excavated. A variety of features, mainly Middle or Late Bronze Age but including some Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, were recorded. Finds included fragments of perforated clay slabs, which are typically Late Bronze Age.

A watching brief by R Poulton, P Jones, N Marples and M Dover of SCAU for C A Cornish & Assocs, was carried out during groundworks for redevelopment. The site lies immediately south of the Thames and fluvial deposits were identified across most of the site. Some pieces of axe-trimmed wood were recovered from the lower deposits; no dating material was recovered, but these pieces are thought likely to be prehistoric in date. Observations on works to The Causeway, which lies immediately south of the site, indicated that little, if any, of the original make up survived in this section.

Evaluation in 1994 of the first phases (centred TQ 062 630) proposed for mineral extraction, by Graham Hayman of SCAU on behalf of Ready Mixed Concrete (United Kingdom) Ltd. The area adjacent to the river Wey was found to consist of flood plain deposits and no features or finds of archaeological interest were recovered. The remaining areas produced evidence for numerous archaeological features indicating a concentration of activity, probably settlement, on an area of higher ground. Here pits, ditches and a possible ring-gully produced finds of prehistoric (Bronze or Iron Age) and Roman date.

Evaluation by Tony Champion of SCAU for Delcroft Properties Ltd, of the site of a proposed golf course and country park, revealed only modern field drains and one ditch of possibly medieval date.

Evaluation by Tony Champion of SCAU for SCC’s Resources Dept, of the disused school site, found that the site was disturbed, probably during the construction of the school in 1908.

Evaluation of a moated site which is to be partly restored during the creation of a public park, by J Robertson & R Poulton of SCAU for P & O Developments Ltd. Trenching across the line of the moat indicated that infilling had been recent. A number of sherds of whiteware of late 15th/early 16th century date were recovered from the inner side of the moat; a quantity of roof tile was also recovered, as was a quantity of slag. The moat is presumed to originate in the 12th-13th century, but no evidence for occupation at that date was recovered from these limited excavations. (300)

An evaluation of building debris, by R Poulton of SCAU for P&O Developments, following a fire at the 18th century mansion (listed grade II*). The ground floor rooms are intended to be returned to their original appearance as far as possible. The evaluation of the front hall demonstrated that the ceiling plaster survived as a layer immediately over the floor. Some survived in relatively good condition, including substantial pieces of decorated work, which suggested restoration of the ceilings would be possible. Further work was subsequently carried out by Wessex Archaeology.
