Evaluation by A Taylor of TVAS revealed two post-medieval gullies and a posthole, probably relating to the former use of the site as a walled garden. A small assemblage of post-medieval pottery was recovered, together with a single sherd dating to the 11th–12th centuries.

Evaluation by S Coles of TVAS revealed two intercutting pits, the earlier being undated, but the stratigraphically higher being clearly medieval or later.

Evaluation by R Oram of TVAS. A post-medieval pit and an undated gully were the only features revealed, but Mesolithic or Neolithic flint and medieval pottery were also recovered.

Report by N Cowell on dendrochronological work. Behind the Georgian and modern façade of the building lie two much older timber-framed buildings, one of which, a ‘Wealden’ house, was thought to date to about 1500. However, the dendrochronological work has shown it to date to between the Springs of 1445 and 1446. (390)

Report on the discovery of a sawpit. Published in SyAC 94, 345–350.

Evaluation by R Lambert of SCAU revealed a ditch containing Mesolithic/Neolithic flintwork and probable Bronze Age pottery, as well as residual medieval pottery within post-medieval ditches.

Watching brief by C Currie of CKCA during the breaching of the dam of Phillimore Lake found evidence for what is thought to have been the rare survival of a timber revetment facing the medieval mill dam. The timbers were sampled for dendrochronological dating. In the 1880s the Phillimore Lake dam had been rebuilt and enlarged to create a much larger lake, and the rebuilt dam was about 1.8m higher than the original and had a thin clay core. A few years later, in 1896, a second lake was created at Rowe’s Flash, and draining of this revealed a similar dam with a thin clay core.

Repair works involving the cutting of a slit trench for a short distance along the dam starting at the south edge of the sluice. The work was monitored by D Graham and D Attryde of SyAS. No finds were recovered, but the west section of the trench was recorded.

Following removal of the pebble-dashing from the Great Gate at the castle the underlying medieval stonework and a window/arrowslit were revealed and recorded photographically by D Graham of SyAS.

Watching brief by G Pattison of SCAU and A and D Graham of SyAS during internal alterations to the north transept, choir and crossing. Evidence for both in-situ and disturbed burials was recorded beneath the floor, in the form of vaults, gravestones and disarticulated, disturbed bone. The bases of the choir arch were also exposed, but no evidence was revealed of the remains of the earlier structure, noted in 2003 observations in the nave.
