Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, were commissioned by Holleran Mouchel Parkman Joint Venture (HMPJV), on behalf of Southern Water, to undertake an archaeological evaluation at the location of a new sewerage system in the village of Rushlake Green, East Sussex. The work took place from the 23rd of February to the 3rd March 2009. A total of 15 trenches were excavated by machine across the site. Natural Ashdown Beds were encountered at a maximum height of 85.45m AOD to the south of the site, falling away to 69.41m AOD to the east. A total of 14 features were recorded during the investigation, including ditches or gullies, pits and postholes. The archaeological investigation succeeded in its general aim of ascertaining the character, quality and degree of survival of archaeological remains on the site. Although a moderate quantity of features were encountered only a minority of these produced datable material. This said two trenches (15 and 10) produced concentrations of features and Trench 7 revealed a potentially interesting gully terminus. These areas could certainly be considered for Stage 2 mitigation as further characterization of these features would seem prudent. |
