Atlantic Wall, Hankley Common, Tilford

Photographic recording by T Howe of SCC during remedial works. Parts of the reinforcing iron superstructure of the wall had become dangerous through erosion to the concrete fabric and ongoing military use of the site. These were removed for health and safety reasons, with a basic record compiled to add to the SMR. Military use of the site has since ceased in order to protect the historic fabric and wider ecological balance of the feature and its surrounding landscape.

Priory Orchard, Godalming

Watching brief by T Howe of SCC, on behalf of Surrey Police, following the discovery of human remains at the site during refurbishment works. The partial remains of two individuals were recovered. Although evidence for post-inhumation disturbance was clear as the remains were commingled within an obvious later feature, no firm dating evidence was noted. It was apparent, however, that the remains were of an archaeological nature rather than of interest to the police. It was thought that they may have been burials displaced during the construction of the property and reburied at the time.
