Fragment of moulded stone, apparently an arch voussoir, probably from Reigate Castle, recorded by D W Williams for HAG. It was found a few years ago. Other stones probably from the castle, from the Old Vicarage site, are also noted. (234)

Excavation by G N Hayman for SCC and HBMC in advance of development behind known medieval chapel site where planning permission was granted on appeal. There was extensive post-medieval pitting but some medieval features were located including a ditch parallel to Bell Street, cut by a 12th century pit and therefore 12th century or earlier. Parts of medieval stone mouldings were found. (248) Earlier, during building work within the existing structure, D W Williams for HAG recovered a possible hood mould fragment from stone rubble below the floor.

Excavation by D W Williams for SCC, London & Metropolitan PLC and Reigate & Banstead BC of sites beneath the former showrooms of Reigate Garage. On the southern site there was little evidence for medieval activity except for an area of heat-reddened brickearth and associated shell-tempered pottery. The site was possibly cultivated until the late 16th century when a building was constructed of which fragments were identified between modern disturbances. This was probably a millhouse.

Excavation by D W Williams for SCC, London & Metropolitan PLC and Reigate & Banstead BC revealed only a few medieval features to the rear of the standing buildings. (243)

Sections parallel and at right angles to the High Street, behind 22 High Street, were recorded by D W Williams for HAG. The site backs onto the castle. Medieval deposits with 13th century pottery had been sealed by almost 1.5m of yellow sand. Part of a well was also recorded. It is suggested that the sand layer represents upcast from ditch digging at the castle, and that therefore this side of the High Street was not built up before the 16th century. (241)

Excavation by R J Poulton for SCC and London & Metropolitan PLC in advance of redevelopment, of a site some 35m south of the High Street frontage, to the rear of the buildings known as the Cage and the Stable. The earliest features on the site were two 12th century parallel ditches or gullies running north-south about 5m apart; these may have been plot boundaries relating to the laying out of the new town in the late 12th century.

Probably three human burials found by workmen in lowering the floor levels of this 17th century building and recorded by D W Williams (but not seen by him in situ). Two seem to have been recognised more or less in position and both were apparently already disturbed when found, one seemingly under an external wall of the house. The burials were apparently only shallow. The house is adjacent to the churchyard and these are therefore presumed to be medieval burials either outside consecrated ground or within a subsequently contracted graveyard. (234)

Trial excavation by R J Poulton for SCC, Bredero and Mole Valley DC in advance of redevelopment was followed by excavation by G N Hayman. Three 1st-2nd century RB ditches were found, one small with much pottery and building material, the others more substantial, one being about 2.5m wide and running north-south. There was also evidence for 14 human burials probably of early medieval date. A ditch to the east is likely to have marked the original limit of burials, replaced probably in the late 13th century by the present boundary line of the graveyard. (235, 241, 248)

Large pieces of greensand and some 20 pieces of RB tile found in root plate of fallen tree and recorded by Judie English. It is suggested that the pond is related to medieval enclosures and the tile and greensand represents paving to protect its edges from erosion. (231)

Survey of medieval field systems carried out by Judie English. A bank was sectioned for environmental analysis; it had a small ditch under it apparently too large to be merely for marking out. No clear evidence for early land surfaces survived. Continuing damage by treasure hunters to the RB temple site was noted.
