Observation of the excavation of a series of test pits by R Poulton of SCAU in advance of proposals to create a road crossing over the Epsom to Waterloo railway revealed evidence of extensive modern development.

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU during easement stripping and excavation of a new pipe trench revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU in advance of the first phase of residential redevelopment revealed a small number of unstratified struck and burnt flints, unstratified fragments of medieval/post-medieval roof tile, and a Roman cremation burial contained within an Alice Holt plain jar of late 2nd/3rd century date. It is possible that further cremations and other forms of burial may survive within the redevelopment area, and further archaeological work is planned.

Evaluation by P Jones of SCAU in advance of residential redevelopment revealed three small hollows probably related to post-medieval gardening activities, a few pottery sherds of 18th century date, and a struck flint of possible Bronze Age date in the subsoil.

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU of further areas of the site, following previous work over the last two years on another part of the Whiteley Village redevelopment. Five trenches were excavated, but only one ditch of possible antiquity was revealed. The ditch could not be dated securely but a possible Bronze Age flint recovered from the fill may point to a prehistoric origin.

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU consisting mainly of a photographic record of the Victorian bridge as it was exposed during varying stages of refurbishment works.

Watching brief by T Munnery of SCAU during the installation of a rising water main pipeline revealed a single ditch that could not be assigned a date. A number of unstratified finds were recovered, however, ranging from Mesolithic flints to post-medieval pottery.

Historic landscape survey by P Jones of SCAU, undertaken as part of the SCC/SyAS ASHLV assessment project. A number of features and potential areas of interest were recorded, including a possible Mesolithic flint-knapping scatter, a number of lime kilns and pond bays. Accompanying assessment of the tithe maps also provided place-name evidence for a number of potential kiln sites

Watching brief by T Munnery of SCAU during the construction of a new gallop at the stables. Two ditches and two pits of probable post-medieval date were revealed. A single Palaeolithic or Mesolithic flint flake was also recovered, although this was unstratified and may have been intrusive.

Controlled stripping by P Jones of SCAU during quarry operations on areas D and E. A number of geological features were exposed, although no definite archaeological evidence was seen beyond the presence of a post-medieval drain. A sherd of Bronze Age pottery recovered from a tree-throw hollow, two sherds of probable Late Iron Age–Early Roman pottery from the surface of one of the geological features, and a single long-blade flint of Upper Palaeolithic type were the only artefacts recovered.
