Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU prior to the construction of a new wing. No features of significance were revealed, although Roman and Medieval material was recovered from the topsoil.

Survey undertaken under the direction of C Currie of CKCA, as part of the Community Archaeology Project, for SCC and SyAS, to assess whether the study area was suitable for designation as an Area of Special Historic Landscape Value (ASHLV). Both documentary research and fieldwork added greatly to our knowledge of these areas, and for a fuller summary of results, see Bulletin 345.

Watching brief by R Poulton and M Dover of SCAU during remedial works to a post-medieval wall. Earlier walls were revealed, possibly relating to the Great Hall of the 12th and 13th century royal palace

Evaluation by N Rosenberg of JSAC revealed no features of archaeological interest. A small amount of medieval pottery recovered was thought to have been deposited during manuring in the medieval period.

Watching brief by K Sabel of PCA on geotechnical trial pits. Evidence for the 17th-18th century origins of the building were revealed, including earlier foundations, drainage and timber flooring. Remains pre-dating Waterloo House were also revealed, in the form of surviving post-medieval layers and residual medieval building material. Considerable evidence of Saxon/Early Medieval occupation was recovered also.

Evaluation by N Roycroft of MoLAS in advance of redevelopment revealed a ploughed soil containing occasional sherds of medieval pottery; and two linear features that may have formed a property boundary, and seem to be associated with three cesspits dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. The structures relating to the post-medieval features were not located during the evaluation, probably because they are associated with the street frontages of Church Street and possibly Bridge Street.

Historic building recording by C Currie of CKCA prior to alteration, revealed evidence for the evolution of a building that began as a late medieval hall house.

Survey undertaken under the direction of C Currie of CKCA, as part of the Community Archaeology Project for SCC and SyAS, to assess whether the study area was suitable for designation as an ASHLV. Both documentary research and fieldwork have added to existing knowledge of the area, and work is continuing in 2002.

Excavation by C Challis and S Coles of TVAS following an evaluation of the site in 2000. The excavations took place on the west bank of the river Wraysbury in an area thought to have been an island in times of flood, and exposed features comprising pits, postholes, ditches and a possible enclosed area. Features can be provisionally dated to the early medieval period (11th--12th century), but pottery of Roman and early to middle Saxon date was also recovered.
