Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the groundworks for a new house at The Sheiling, Rotherfield, East Sussex. Excavations were carried out using a 4.5 tonne machine and used 900mm and 1.5m toothless ditching buckets to excavate to a depth of between 900mm-1m. The excavations were cut into the natural deposit of the Ashdown Beds. No archaeological features were encountered during the watching brief although a small assemblage of late 19th to mid 20th century material was recovered from the interface between the topsoil/subsoil deposits along with three sherds of mid-13th to mid-14th century medieval pottery, one of which was unstratfied, with the other two coming from the subsoil |
