20th century

1901-2000

Rowly Drive, Rowly (centred)

Watching brief by T Munnery of SCAU during the excavations for a water pipeline. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed. A metal detector survey carried out simultaneously along the pipeline route recovered fragments of metalwork associated with the site of a German Junkers 88 aircraft, which was shot down and crashed nearby in April 1941. The actual site of the crash was, however, some distance from the pipeline route.

Kiln Lane, Ewell

Observation of the excavation of a series of test pits by R Poulton of SCAU in advance of proposals to create a road crossing over the Epsom to Waterloo railway revealed evidence of extensive modern development.

Charles Hill Cottages, Charleshill

Investigation by J and P Wardle and M Rubra of SyAS. A series of chalk and flint footings discovered by the owner, which appeared to be the remains of a fairly recent structure probably removed in the early 1960s, were examined. The property lies on the route of the GCHQ Stop Line, although there was no conclusive evidence for a military connection to the structure. (394)

Godalming College, Godalming

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU prior to residential development on the former playing fields. Only one feature (a probable wall foundation) of potential interest was revealed, although this was probably modern. The majority of the site had been disturbed previously by the creation of level surfaces for the playing fields.

Frensham to Aldershot pipeline

Archaeological monitoring programme conducted by A Brossler of OA of c 11km of pipeline trenching.
