Excavation and a subsequent watching brief were carried out by R Poulton of SCAU, for Characin Developments, on this redevelopment site within the historic centre of Guildford. This revealed evidence for backlands activity, especially of 12th to 14th century date and also of 18th century date. The virtual absence of material between the 14th and 17th centuries suggests the plot was being used for non-domestic purposes - one suggestion is that it was the yard for an Inn. (314)

A watching brief by the GMVEU recorded evidence for chalk walling in the cellar. Trial excavation revealed an earlier brick floor in the cellar; finds included red ware of 14th-15th century date, White and Red Border wares of 17th and 18th century date and tin-glazes ware of 18th century date.

Excavation by R Poulton of SCAU, for the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of the upstand at the rear of these buildings followed trial pitting by the GMVEU. Much modern disturbance was revealed but a number of 12th/13th/14th century pits survived. One such pit, of 12th/13th century date, appeared to be sealed by chalk rubble, which is presumed to be debris from the partial demolition of the medieval chamber below these properties. (321)

A watching brief by the GMVEU recorded earlier chalk block walls beneath the standing building. Pottery recovered from the site dates from the 12th-13th century, with some scratched ware sherds of the 11th century also being recovered. (300)

The GMVEU recorded chalk walling in the cellar, which appears to be of great thickness. It is suggested that this could be the remains of a corner tower to the castle. (300)

Fieldwalking by GAG, led by H Davies, of fields to the north of Manor Farm revealed a concentration of Romano-British and medieval pot. Bronze Age pottery and worked flints were also recovered.

Evaluation by SutAS, for the school, in advance of new building works. With the exception of a sherd of medieval pottery, no archaeological finds or features were located. However, the area had clearly been disturbed by previous development.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU, for Charles Church South East, in advance of residential redevelopment. A large quantity of late 14th to 15th century whiteware pottery, including wasters, was recovered, suggesting a kiln site in the vicinity. (314)

A watching brief was maintained by G Pattison of SCAU, for Thames Water Utilities, on the works for a new pipeline. A concentration of late medieval pottery was identified at the eastern end of the route, close to South Lane, presumably indicating the presence of a kiln in the vicinity.

Evaluation by A Gollop of PCA of a site proposed for residential development, for Crest Homes, revealed a ploughsoil below modern makeup levels. The ploughsoil contained a couple of sherds of medieval pottery and may represent agricultural activity on the site from the medieval period onwards. No earlier archaeological features or finds were revealed.
