Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out by Archaeology South East (ASE) on Glebe Land at Church Lane, Frant, East Sussex (NGR: TQ 5885 3568) between the 8th and 11th February 2010. The work was commissioned by Development Archaeological Services (DAS) on behalf of their client, to assess the archaeological potential of the site in advance of the proposed new school development. The site is located in a field adjacent to Church Lane. Eleven trenches were excavated with a cumulative length of 230 metres, positioned so as to target anomalies identified during a detailed gradiometer magnetic survey conducted by ASE in 2009. Archaeological features comprising ditches and postholes were identified during the field evaluation in six of the trenches. Of the four postholes uncovered during the excavations, only one contained artefacts and was datable to the 11th-12th century by pottery sherds. A north-south ditch was also revealed along the western edge of the site and contained pottery and tile fragments of 14th-15th century date. Four of the trenches revealed undated linear gullies on a northwest-southeast orientation. It is possible that these features formed part of a possible field drainage system. Finds from the overburden across the site comprised pottery sherds and post-medieval ceramic building material, slate, slag and a single clay tobacco pipe stem fragment. Natural geology consisting of Tunbridge Wells Sand was encountered at its highest in the northeast of the site at 172.85m AOD (Trench 11) and at its lowest in the southwest at 166.04m AOD in the south (Trench 3).
