Six Bells PH, Newdigate

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU, for Mr & Mrs Callcut, of the site of a barn, which is to be converted for residential use. The original brick sill walls for the timber frame were revealed, but no other features of archaeological interest were present.

The Old Abattoir site, Rose Hill, Dorking

Building recording by Beryl Higgins & Vivienne Ettlinger of one of the former abattoir buildings, to be retained and refurbished, identified it as 17th or 18th century in origin. A watching brief was undertaken by N Shaikhley of SCAU, for Ian Vincent Property, during construction of housing on the remainder of the site. A ceramic vessel, identified as a ‘tyg’ of 17th century date, was found in spoil. No features of archaeological interest were revealed; the site was seen to have been very disturbed. (314, 321)

A watching brief was maintained by R Poulton of SCAU, for Priestmere Properties Ltd, on the redevelopment of this site in the centre of the village.
