Abstract:		 In October 2008, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an auger survey at Fletching Mill, Sussex. The investigation was in advance of planned re-meandering work at the site. The survey aimed to investigate a potential medieval moated manor sequence and recover samples for palaeo-environmental assessment. Sixteen auger holes were undertaken within two ditch sequences that surround a well preserved flat rectangular earthwork interpreted as a potential medieval moated manor. The sedimentary and environmental evidence indicated deep flowing conditions existed within the ditches. This evidence suggested that the ditches must have at some point been connected to the River Ouse. Evidence of structural material intermittently dispersed within the southern ditch sequence between these two deposits, may suggests the proximity of a medieval/post medieval brick built structure. The ditch sequences indicate a high degree of consistency within the ditch fills which imply that they were once connected and formed part of a moated rectangular enclosure. The alluvial deposits have remained waterlogged and should be considered of palaeo-environmental interest. The sequence was found to have good potential for the preservation of organic material and would be suitable for radio carbon dating. A programme of dating for the lower sequence has been recommended in order to confirm the dating of these earthworks. It is expected that any proposed work in this area may have a potential impact on this site. This sequence will be vulnerable to direct and indirect impactions that may be involved in any remodelling work within or near to the earthworks.
