Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an extension to a lake. During the original construction of the lake in 1994, a pit containing Late Iron Age and Romano-British pottery had been discovered. The suggested alignment of the London to Lewes Roman road crossed the site. During the evaluation, numerous artefacts, including prehistoric struck flints and pottery of apparent Iron Age and Roman date, were recovered, and spreads of loose rubble were revealed. The rubble may have represented road metalling; it lay on an alignment parallel to but c. 15m west of the predicted route of the Roman road. The flint artefacts included a probable knife and other items of Eary Bronze Age date, and some pieces which may have been of Mesolithic or Neolithic date. The Roman pottery included a high proportion of fine wares, the assemblage being similar to one which might be expected to have been associated with high status buildings. However, ceramic building materials were restricted to a few small fragments of roof tile, suggesting that the material had been deposited outside of the main settled area. It was recommended that a watching brief should be carried out during development. [AIP] |
