Abstract: |
Apart from a number of land drains, a small post-medieval pit, a late 20th century pit and one possible Roman/medieval sandy-tempered sherd, two fragments of possible medieval roof tile and four sherds of post-medieval pottery no significant archaeological finds were recovered. A desk-based assessment revealed that the field appeared to be just outside the medieval centre of Aldwick. The place-name probably meant 'old farm'. There was no evidence to suggest it was associated with a Roman vicus, although because of its location outside the core settlement area, the absence of finds should not necessarily exclude the possibility of early remains within that core area in the future. A geoarchaeological survey recovered the remains of a previously unknown raised beach in the NW corner of the site, which had almost faded out near the SW corner of the site. Nevertheless, its discovery should be considered to be of some regional significance and the results of the post-excavation analysis were expected to add to our knowledge of coastal evolution.
