Archaeological Investigation at Sutton Place Guildford

Oxford Archaeology were commissioned by Martin Ashley Architects on behalf of Sutton Place Property Unit Trust to carry out monitoring and investigation works during the construction of a swimming pool building at Sutton Place, Guildford, Surrey, NGR TQ 011 535. The work revealed mostly modern deposits and structures. A rectilinear arrangement of postholes recorded in the area of the swimming pool may date to the 16th-17th century. Its shallow nature, paucity of associated finds and disturbance of the features by modern rooting preclude interpretation of its function other than as a basic ancillary building associated with the Manor House.
