Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU for Guildford Borough Council, of the site of a proposed extension within the grounds of the museum. Medieval wall foundations and demolition layers were identified within part of the area. A standing wall was seen to have herringbone work, suggesting a 12th century date. This may represent an external wall of the castle, as the trenches north of it revealed only post-medieval material.

Evaluation by Rob Poulton of SCAU for S K Kuntze & Associates, of the area of a new extension to the rear of the hotel, revealed two large pits, interpreted as cesspits. The pits were infilled with rubbish in the mid-13th century, making them roughly contemporaneous with the undercroft at the front of the hotel. A watching brief on the works was subsequently carried out by J Robertson of SCAU and GMVEU also kept an eye on the development. Six pits dating to between the late 12th and 14th centuries were identified. Four pits contained no dating evidence but are likely to be medieval.

A watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU for the Project Design Partnership on works within the medieval undercroft, found that the rear wall of the undercroft was built directly against natural chalk. Chalk-block foundations relating to both the undercroft and later features were noted.

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU for W H Smith Ltd as part of redevelopment of the shop site. The work took the form of observation of clearance and groundworks, with recording of the archaeology uncovered. SCAU were assisted by the GMVEU. Much of the site had been disturbed by modern development and the High Street frontage was found to have essentially been removed by modern basementing. Elsewhere no occupation levels earlier than the post-medieval period survived; the only pre-19th century wall foundations recorded probably relate to the House of Correction, built soon after 1767.

Evaluation and watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU for Cenargo Ltd on a small scale development adjacent to the church. Although no features of interest were noted, a number of sherds of pottery were recovered, including part of a rim of a late 11th/early 12th century cooking pot, fragments of grey-brown sandy wares of 12th-13th century date and fragments of late 13th-early 14th century whitewares.

A watching brief by G Hayman of SCAU, for SCC’s Highways and Transport Dept, was carried out on part of the central section of the BVR (between Aldershot Road and the lakes near Ash Vale). No features or finds of archaeological interest were noted.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU, on behalf of Chambers, in response to proposals to extend the mineral extraction area. Occasional finds of late 19th or 20th century pottery, glass and building material were recovered.

Evaluation and excavation by G Hayman of SCAU for Cala Homes (Southern) Ltd of a site within what was the Little Park of Nonsuch Palace. Documentary evidence suggested that the site might contain evidence for clay extraction, but no evidence for this was recovered. A small number of prehistoric features were recorded, most of which appear to be Middle Iron Age in date, but which may include features of the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. Finds included fragments of two rotary quern stones.

Excavation by G Hayman of SCAU for Fleetwood Developments Ltd, in advance of redevelopment, identified a number of features of Roman date including a large 1st-2nd century pit and a probable well of 3rd-4th century date. The quantity of Roman brick and tile recovered indicates a substantial building in the vicinity. The Roman features cut into a subsoil containing Bronze Age flints. Post-medieval features included a large pit, presumed to have been a well. (see report in SyAC 95, 281-295)

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU for Dwellcourt Ltd. as part of an application for the construction of a golf course. A pit containing Iron Age material was recorded in the 1940s, and presumed to relate to a contemporary settlement, but no evidence for this was located during the evaluation. A few pieces of burnt flint were recovered, but the only feature found was a modern pit.
