Evaluation by J McNicoll-Norbury of TVAS. A single modern ditch terminus was revealed, but no finds or features of archaeological significance.

Watching brief by J Lewis of TVAS during the excavation of test pits to ascertain whether the construction of extension to the marina would have the potential to impact on archaeology. The construction of the marina involves excavation to a depth of 217mm from the current ground level, and the test pits revealed the archaeologically relevant horizons at depths of below 420mm, so allowing for the preservation in situ beneath the proposed development of any deposits that may be present.

Evaluation by S Wallis of TVAS revealed over twenty deep rectangular tanks. Historic maps illustrate that the site was formerly occupied by a 19th century tannery, and the tanks were almost certainly once part of this complex. Many were timber lined, and all appeared to have been deliberately backfilled prior to the demolition of the tannery buildings in the early 20th century. No artefacts or deposits pre-dating the 19th century were identified.

Evaluation by S Wallis of TVAS revealed that the site had been landscaped in the past, although a small shallow pit containing early to mid Saxon pottery and a feature postulated to be a tree hole were revealed, and residual struck flints recovered.

Programme of fieldwalking by S Ford of TVAS recovered a dense cluster of struck flint located on the terrace edge of a small stream valley. The cluster comprises a strong Mesolithic component, although later Neolithic/Bronze Age material is well represented. Flint in more modest quantities and pottery sherds of several periods were also recovered dispersed elsewhere across the areas fieldwalked.

Evaluation by D Milbank of TVAS did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by I Blake of Charterhouse of the site for a new sports hall was followed by excavation by M Hall of TVAS for the school. Four features of Roman date were recorded, including two ditches and two pits. The pottery from these features dates from the middle to late 1st century AD, indicating a relatively short period of use. Although no structural features were found, the quantity of pottery recovered suggests an occupation site (probably a farm complex) nearby. (301); see report in SyAC 86, 151-)

Evaluation by J Pine of TVAS for Roger Molyneux Architects of a site close to the village church. The evaluation revealed a number of post-medieval artefacts, and a post-medieval pipe and wall trench. (301)

Evaluation by TVAS on behalf of the National River Authority, in advance of the construction of a flood alleviation channel. No features or finds of archaeological significance were revealed during the evaluation. Samples were taken from peat deposits uncovered and study of these will provide an important source for a detailed palaeo-environmental record of landscape change in the Middle Thames region.
