Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation (seven trial trenches) was undertaken in advance of the proposed demolition of the existing structures and the construction of two new ranges of buildings. The site lay within an area of high archaeological potential, particularly from the Mesolithic period and associated with pottery production from the Roman period. There was a high potential that the remains of the Farnham Union Workhouse constructed in the 1790s may be found upon the site. However, no archaeological features or finds were revealed. The evaluation trenches showed that the construction of the laundry block had clearly truncated all of the deposits in that area and further truncation had also taken place here perhaps as a result of terracing prior to the construction of the laundry block. In the eastern development area the trenches revealed widespread truncation of the natural deposits. Untruncated deposits were only recorded in the north-eastern corner of the site, closer to Hale Road (trench 4), however, no finds or features were seen earlier than the late post-medieval period and thus it appeared that the site had no further archaeological potential.
