Evaluation by A Taylor and D Platt of TVAS revealed three pits, one of which contained a Bronze Age urn, the others were undated. The vessel form and fabric of the urn fits into the middle to later Deverel-Rimbury tradition. The profile is of a type that has been described as ‘sub-biconical’ and examples, with a flattened rim and a row of perforations, occur in southern British Deverel-Rimbury assemblages from East Anglia to Dorset.

Watching brief by D Platt of TVAS revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief of E McManus-Fry of TVAS revealed an undated, stone-lined well that was preserved in situ beneath the new development.

Evaluation by S Wallis of TVAS revealed that the northern part of the development site had been significantly truncated in the past, possibly to create adequate drainage for the nearby playing field.

Evaluation by D Platt of TVAS revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by J Webster of TVAS of a rear extension showed that the site had undergone phases of truncation and ground levelling that would have destroyed any archaeological deposits that may have been present. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.

Historic building recording by G Elliott and D Milbank of TVAS of two barns and the adjoining cart-shed and stables. In their original form, both barns were for threshing and consisted of five bays with waggon entrances within the central bay. The south-west barn is largely unchanged from its original form. The north-west barn has been altered, with the removal of the covered waggon entrance and possibly a north aisle. A sixth bay was added to its west end and the roof extended further to include stables and a cart-shed. Another stable block abuts the south wall.

Archaeological monitoring of soil stripping by L Lewins of TVAS revealed seven graves containing the remains of at least ten individuals. A minimum of two phases of burial were identified, characterised by those displaying an expected burial form for furnished early medieval burials, and later non-normative graves. Recovered artefacts and radiocarbon dating indicates that this part of the Guildown cemetery was in use over an extended period of time spanning the 6th to 11th centuries AD. The majority of skeletons were buried in supine and extended positions.

Watching brief by L Esteves and A Taylor of TVAS revealed a single undated ditch that may be the terminal of a medieval ditch previously recorded to the east in 2007 (SyAC 95, 306), although it contained no independent dating evidence.

Evaluation by J McNicoll-Norbury and L Esteves of TVAS revealed a post-medieval gully.
