| Abstract: |
An evaluation comprising a brief desk-top study and the excavation of trial trenches was undertaken at a proposed development site. A group of cropmarks had been recorded to the east of the site in 1976. This comprised ditches which defined a series of trackways and fields, and at least two enclosures of Roman and Late Iron Age date. A north-south stretch of the Chichester Entrenchments, a system of linear defensive earthworks thought to have dated from the period immediately prior to the Roman conquest, lay 600m to the west of the proposal site. During the evaluation, a Palaeolithic handaxe was recovered, and a group of five small pits was recorded. Artefacts from the pits indicated a possible Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date; although the fabric of an incomplete pot from one pit was more typical of Bronze Age pottery, the form and decoration were most akin to the bag-shaped pots of the earlier Neolithic. No traces of prehistoric or Roman boundary ditches were observed. [AIP] |
