Evaluation The works involved the excavation of seven trenches with a total area of 117m� Building survey The Drawn Record; Existing elevations and plans were provided by Surrey County Council. These drawings (1:100) were used to add descriptive annotation to indicate construction, structural breaks, evidence relating to the structure's use and other features of historical interest. Photographs were taken using 35mm film (black and white prints) and with a digital camera. The images included general shots of structures (external and internal) and specific details. Flash lighting was used to illuminate dark interiors and a scale was used where appropriate. Photographic record sheets where used to indicate the location and direction of each shot and any further detail. Written descriptions of the structures were made as part of the annotated drawings. Additional analytical and descriptive notes were taken as appropriate to complement the other elements of the record. Excavation; excavation of a palaeolithic flint scatter by hand excavation. Evaluation Between the 26th and the 28th February 2013 Oxford Archaeology (OA) undertook an archaeological evaluation on land adjoining Guildford Fire Station, Ladymead, Guildford (NGR SU 9965 5081). The work was commissioned by Jacobs UK Ltd on behalf of Surrey County Council. A total of seven trial trenches were excavated, six measuring 10m by 1.6m and one measuring 5m by 1.6m. The evaluation uncovered a W-E orientated ditch which was potentially present in two trenches, terminating in one. Struck flints of probable Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date were recovered from the fills. A north-south orientated ditch, or former hedgeline was also uncovered, from which no finds were recovered. Ceramic roof tile fragments of late medieval or post medieval date were recovered from subsoil and may indicate that the site was occupied at this time. Other trenches revealed features of recent date including buried services, and a wide shallow cut probably associated with the construction of an adjacent tarmac road Building survey Oxford Archaeology (OA) has carried out a programme of Historic Building Recording at Guildford Fire Station, in Guildford, Surrey prior to the redevelopment of the site. The main recording focussed on the principal fire station building, fronting onto the A25, but the work also included two other structures: a 'smokehouse' to the south-east and a multi-storey training tower to the south. At the time of t...
