An evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU for Pearce Construction (South East) Ltd, of a redevelopment site in the centre of the town, found that some of the site had been damaged by the construction of modern basements, but that extensive stratigraphy survived elsewhere. A sequence of prehistoric, Roman and medieval deposits was recorded. Subsequent excavation was carried out by T Ennis of Tempus Reparatum. The earliest activity on the site appears to have been Late Bronze Age, followed by occupation in the Late Iron Age or early Roman period.

Evaluation by Tony Champion of SCAU for Delcroft Properties Ltd, of the site of a proposed golf course and country park, revealed only modern field drains and one ditch of possibly medieval date.

A watching brief by J Robertson of SCAU for Barrelfield Golf Network was carried out during golf course construction. A walkover of stripped areas revealed three Iron Age pits and a variety of scattered finds (including struck flints of predominantly Late Bronze Age or later date, calcined flints, medieval/post-medieval pottery sherds and medieval/post-medieval roof tile) in the northern part of the site, which overlies Greensand, but only a couple of pieces of post-medieval pottery were recovered from the southern area of the site, which overlies Gault Clay.

A watching brief by D W Williams for SCAU and Reigate & Banstead Borough Council on limited groundworks within the southern edge of the bailey of Reigate Castle recorded well preserved stratigraphy of medieval through to post-medieval date. (294)

Evaluation by G Beresford for Broadway Malyan of the area around the 19th house, Castle Keep, within the bailey of Reigate Castle. Layers and features associated with outbuildings and subsidiary dwellings of 13th century date were recorded.

Evaluation and watching brief by the South-East London Archaeological Unit of the former school site, for Rydon Construction Ltd. The site lies just outside the area of the medieval town of Reigate and adjacent to Reigate Castle. Two small gullies of 13th to 14th century date and a pit of similar date were recorded. The medieval features are suggested to relate to expansion of the town westward in the 13th and 14th centuries. The site was used subsequently as farmland. (305)

A watching brief by D W Williams on works to the rear of the building, which dates to c1600, recorded two small pits, one of which contained pottery dating to c1400. (294)

Evaluation by S Dyer of SCAU for Owens Galliver Architects, of an area proposed for redevelopment, revealed a ditch containing 15th century pottery running at right angles to the street frontage. It seems likely that this represents the division between two formally laid out burgage plots, which were not actually built on until much later. A subsequent watching brief recorded more of the ditch but no further evidence for its date or purpose was found. (289)

A watching brief by S Dyer of SCAU for Admiral Homes Ltd recorded a number of narrow ditches, probably field boundaries. No dating evidence was recovered from these, but some medieval pottery was recovered from the spoil. (289)

Survey of the estate by S Dyer of SCAU, with volunteers from the SyAS, for SCC’s Countryside Management Division. A variety of earthwork features, including lynchets, ridge-and-furrow, hollow ways, boundary banks, quarries, sawpits etc were recorded, indicating that the site was largely used for arable from the medieval period until the 19th century, when the land became increasingly used for grazing and plantations.
