19th century

Mother Ludlam’s Cave, Farnham

Excavation by D Graham of SyAS prior to the installation of new wrought iron gates. The cave has been largely formed by the action of a stream, which still flows strongly through the cave. Evidence for 18th and 19th century management of the stream and cave was found, in the form of salt-glazed pipes, a brick lined drain, and a brick floor. No earlier features were observed, although no attempt was made to break through the brick floor to examine deeper deposits. (360)

Rookery Farm, Outwood

Watching brief by R James and L Barber of ASE undertaken during groundworks associated with the refurbishment of a barn. Underpinning trenches were excavated below existing wall lines, and the internal levels were reduced, but only an earlier brick floor of probable 18th or 19th century date was revealed.

15 High Street, Stanwell

Excavation following an evaluation by J Leary of PCA revealed a Bronze Age pit (and possibly contemporary features), and evidence of the early development of Stanwell in the form of a gully and two pits containing Saxo-Norman pottery, and slightly later field boundaries. These features were overlain by a ploughsoil containing 12th to 14th century pottery and daub, and point to the existence of a building nearby. A well and a series of rubbish pits containing 18th and 19th century pottery, some rare and non-local, were also excavated.

6 Vicarage Road, Egham

Watching brief by G Potter of CA during the construction of a house. Foundations relating to an early 19th century structure known from cartographic sources were revealed, together with evidence for pre-19th century subsoil and buried topsoil horizons. No remains earlier than the Post-Medieval period were encountered.
