Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in woodland on the south-east bank of the River Wey, adjacent to Walsham Weir in Surrey (NGR TQ 05012 57779). This comprised the excavation of four test pits along the proposed route of a fish pass. There were no archaeological cut features or structural remains identified. A series of deposits forming an alluvial sequence was visible in Test Pits 2, 3 and 4, and post-medieval and modern made-ground encountered in Test Pit 1, which was positioned closest to the present weir. This evidence was consistent with the site location in a waterlogged landscape, adjacent to a managed watercourse. Whilst the dating of the alluvial formation remains uncertain, apart from the recovery of a single prehistoric flint flake in Test Pit 3, the majority of the diagnostic finds from the test pits related to activity from the mid-18th to early 20th century. Although the exact construction methodology for the development is, at present, unknown, just over 1m of the deposit sequence was observed in the test pits, so any intrusive groundworks on site that exceed this depth would be at risk of disturbing unobserved (and almost certainly waterlogged) archaeological deposits.
