Rose and Crown, Mill Lane, Godalming
Excavation (1976) by J.A. Janaway for the Godalming Group of SyAS revealed 18th /19th century pits and buildings cutting a layer containing medieval pottery and flint flakes. (131)
Prehistoric
Wisley
Trial excavation (1977) by Ann Watson followed by excavation (1978) by M.G. O'Connell for SyAS and DOE located a few 12th century features, and prehistoric pottery in apparently redeposited soil. (155)
Wisley
Worked flints found in fieldwork (1978) by Ann Watson. (145)
Bow Cottages and Britannia Inn, Millmead, Guildford
Excavation (1975-6) by Barbara Blatchford and Audrey Monk for the Guildford Group of SyAS produced worked prehistoric flints, a RB sherd and 13th/14th century pottery as well as later material. (132)
Broadmoor
Small-scale excavation by R I Macphail, Ann Watson and D G Bird to test the former's theories about brownearth erosion as a result of tree clearance in the prehistoric period.
Abbey Meads
Site watching of topsoil removal before gravel extraction by J J Chapman for SAFG revealed no features and only two flints and one fragment of RB pottery.
Down Wood
Neolithic/EBA flint concentration noted by Ann Watson in tree clearance in advance of motorway construction.
Sheep Walk, Shepperton
Site watching and sample excavation by D G Bird for SCC of a buried watercourse feature revealed in gravel extraction. Three radiocarbon dates were obtained from waterlogged timbers in a section across the channel: 5230±95; 5210±80; 5220±90, all before present. An earlier and deeper buried channel was also noted briefly. (199)
Dry Hill Camp, Lingfield
The NE corner of the hill fort was walked after ploughing by D G Bird for SCC. Only a few fragments of probably modern tile, four probably unworked lumps of flint and a small piece of iron slag were noted. The SE corner was later walked, again with very few finds including a few flints with one fine scraper. (209)
Area round Cranleigh
Seven sites producing worked flint found by Judie English in fieldwalking. She notes that all are on soils warmer and better drained than the surrounding clay, and that very few primary flakes were found, suggesting preliminary working at source, presumably on the Downs. At Snoxhall (TQ 060 373) some 450 Mesolithic flints were found, including six scrapers, one knife, five burins and eight microliths. 76 Mesolithic flints, including one microlith, were found at Knowle (TQ 055 382). 30 worked flints, including a microburin, were discovered in Lower Canfold Wood (TQ 082 395).
