Excavation by J Pine of TVAS for Fairclough Homes, in advance of redevelopment, revealed medieval pits, postholes and gullies and a late medieval well. The pottery from these features has been dated to the 12th to 13th centuries. Pottery from the 17th to 18th century was also recovered. Two near complete articulated pig skeletons were found in purpose-dug pits. (301); see report in SyAC 90, 261-271

Evaluation by S Ford of TVAS of a former British Telecom site, for Fairclough Homes Ltd, recorded a linear feature and a hollow which contained no finds. A peaty deposit identified in the geotechnical works was found to be disturbed buried topsoil. (301)

Evaluation by S Weaver of TVAS for Alfred McAlpine Homes Southern Ltd. The site had clearly been previously disturbed. Five pottery sherds were recovered from the evaluation, four of which are probably of medieval date; the fifth is likely to be prehistoric, perhaps dating to the Bronze Age. (301)

Evaluation by J Saunders of TVAS, for Bryant Country Homes Southern Ltd, was carried out in advance of residential redevelopment. The site of the Hydestile Hospital, where Roman or medieval pottery was recovered in 1943, was found to be extensively disturbed; no features or finds of archaeological interest were noted. The site of the King George V was less disturbed, but the only find recovered was a flint flake, possibly Mesolithic. (319)

A watching brief by J Saunders of TVAS was maintained on the construction of a replacement hall and associated works. The foundation trenches for the hall were too shallow to affect any archaeological deposits. A service trench cut through the boundary bank to the south; no dating evidence for the bank’s construction was recovered and no trace of an associated ditch was seen. (319)

Evaluation by J Pine of TVAS, for the Diocese of Southwark, of a site for residential development, revealed no features or finds of archaeological interest.

A watching brief was carried out by TVAS on the construction of a sports ground and pavilion, for Ashford Sports Club Ltd, in an area where a ring ditch has been noted on aerial photos. Most of the groundworks were shallow, the limited deeper works revealed only levels of modern dumping. A few pieces of struck flint were recovered during the watching brief. (319)

A watching brief by L Pollinger of TVAS was carried out on a residential development by Fairclough Homes Ltd., in an area partly evaluated by SCAU in 1994. No features or finds of archaeological interest were noted. (319)

Evaluation by S Ford of TVAS for the Environment Agency of the area proposed for a flood relief channel adjacent to the River Colne. Most of the trial trenches were negative, but at the northern end of the proposed channel a pit containing burnt flint and a fragment of prehistoric, possibly Bronze Age, pottery was identified. A spread of burnt flint and charcoal adjoining this feature produced a similar sherd of pottery. (319)
