Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out on land at 24 Rattle Rd, Pevensey, East Sussex (NGR 563517 104551). The site lies c. 800m east of the Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 27013) of Pevensey Castle. A previous archaeological evaluation had been conducted at the site (Riccoboni 2007) which had discovered the remains of a gully containing Roman and medieval pottery. The watching brief recorded the remains of a further six archaeological features. Two pits (104 and 105), two post holes (107 and 114) and two linear features (109 and 112) were recorded across the site mostly within the newly excavated wall footing trenches. The Roman archaeological features are likely associated with a Roman settlement which existed in this area, but unfortunately mostly destroyed during a 1960''s housing development. Other finds from the Roman period through to the post medieval period suggest that this land had been used for pasture/and or agricultural use throughout the ages. The site occupies a position of higher ground (c. 2m) above the levels of the marshes and was likely always used for either settlement or agricultural use. A confidence rating is high that the best possible results were achieved. |
