Watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU during the construction of a new garage and additional external alterations. The deep and narrow garage foundations did not allow for detailed observations, but 19th century brick and pottery was evident. During excavations for repair to a boundary wall, a small section of chalk rubble and mortar walling was revealed. The limited area of exposure meant it was not possible to establish with confidence the orientation of the feature, although previous work in the area suggests it may be a structure related to the kitchens of the former palace.

Evaluation and watching brief by J Pine of TVAS on further areas of the proposed University of Surrey expansion site, following the previous evaluation and excavation works in 2002 and 2003. The evaluation produced evidence for Early to Middle Bronze Age activity, in the form of isolated pits. Medieval activity was also noted, in the form of pits, ditches and a possible hearth. Given their proximity to the nearby moated site of Manor Farm, it is assumed that they are associated with activity relating to this site, although the dating evidence was not clear.

Evaluation by R Wardill of WA of land proposed as the location for new football pitches. A concentration of possible Bronze Age activity comprising at least five ditches was located at the eastern end, and two isolated ditches with similar fills were found towards the centre and western end of the area evaluated. Bronze Age flint artefacts were found in the subsoil across the area, with the highest density in the area of the westernmost ditch. A single ditch containing medieval pottery and two undated postholes were also revealed.

Excavation by A Hall of SyAS to investigate whether the early 18th century Lime House was built at the rear of an older house. Excavation revealed pottery of 13th/14th and 17th–18th century date, two 18th century clay pipes, and 19th–20th century building rubble, but no finds or features to indicate the existence of an earlier building.

Evaluation and watching brief by D Score of OA as part of a programme of investigation in advance of and during the proposed redevelopment of part of the interior of the Scheduled Monument. Most of the area evaluated had been previously truncated and levelled, but two late medieval or early post-medieval ditches and an associated pit and gully, two large undated linear features (either ditches or possible former channels of the nearby river Wey), and two possible prehistoric ditches, were recorded.

Watching brief and historic recording by R Poulton of SCAU and M Higgins of SCC during refurbishment and the construction of an extension to the cottage showed that the building formed the two central bays of a medieval open hall house, dated provisionally to between 1450 and 1520. The building retains evidence for storied ends but both have been lost.

Geophysical survey by A Bartlett of BCC, with a supplementary evaluation by P Jones of SCAU, in order to test the potential effectiveness of geophysical survey over the site. A number of magnetic anomalies were detected, although no corresponding archaeological features were revealed, suggesting that full geophysical survey of the site would not be productive. Subsequent evaluation involving the excavation of 464 trenches by A Taylor of TVAS in advance of possible mineral extraction revealed a wide range of finds and deposits.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU on phase 6b area of this ongoing mineral extraction site. Evidence of a field system mainly dating to the post-medieval period was found, as well as pits of a possible prehistoric date. Medieval pottery finds indicate activity of this period in the area.

Excavations by C Cowan of MoLAS prior to and during residential development. No further prehistoric remains were encountered following the 2002 evaluation. The earliest remains related to remnants of a possible medieval structure, associated with pottery dated to 1230–1400 which was recovered from the topsoil/subsoil interface. Several post-medieval garden features were encountered also, together with large amounts of pottery in the topsoil layers which fell into two categories: 17th to earlier 18th century kitchen and sanitary wares, and late 18th–19th century tablewares. Work is ongoing
