Peper Harow

Recording of finds by D Graham and D Williams recovered during a metal detecting rally held on fields to the east, north and west of Peper Harow. Hundreds of objects were recorded ranging in date from the Middle Bronze Age to the 19th century. (330)

24 Petworth Road, Haselmere

Evaluation by J Stevenson of SCAU, for Overson Ltd, in advance of residential development. A shallow gully was revealed, aligned approximately north east-south west. Excavation produced a white ware rim sherd and several sandy ware sherds of later medieval date. It seems likely that this feature represents an earlier demarcation of the boundary of this plot, possibly as part of the setting out of the town

Hatch Mill, Farnham

Evaluation by C Currie, for Abbeyfield (Wey Valley) Society Ltd, in advance of residential development adjacent to the mill. Large scale modern disturbance was revealed. A crude wall of mid 19th century date is thought to be a revetment to the former mill stream. The wall contained re-used stone, apparently from an ecclesiastical building, including a fine late 12th or 13th century carved capital.

St. Andrew’s Parish Church, Farnham

Monitoring of restoration works on the Church, and particularly the bell tower, by David Graham at the request of the Diocesan Archaeologist, David Bird. A number of re-used pieces of worked stone have been recovered from the inner face of the tower at the upper levels of the 16th century work. These all appear to be medieval and are presumably, though not certainly, re-used from an earlier phase of the church

Woolmer Hill School, Haslemere

Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU, on behalf of Haslemere Sports Association, on the site of a proposed Sports Centre. Two ditches were revealed which were suggestive of field boundaries, although none are recorded in the historical record. A possible gully was also seen, in addition to three small pits or postholes.One of these produced a rimsherd of late Iron Age or early Roman pottery together with a smaller body sherd of similar or possibly medieval date. A resultant watching brief, conducted in unfavourable weather conditions, failed to find any further archaeological finds or features.

Chelsham

Survey of the archaeological and historic landscape around Chelsham by C Currie of CKC Archaeology, for SCC and SyAS, with reference to them being proposed as Areas of Historic Landscape Value. The work is ongoing and is being carried out as part of the Community Archaeological Programme. The survey is still at an early stage, but an initial scan has revealed a number of sites of archaeological interest including three enclosures thought to be of medieval date. (Link to vol 1 below.
