Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology as part of the latest phase of works associated with the extension of the clay quarry at West Hoathly Brickworks, Sharpthorne, West Sussex. The work formed part of Phase 2 (Part 6) Extraction and followed on from archaeological work undertaken during Phase 2 (Parts 1-5) Extraction. A single Early Neolithic or Mesolithic flint flake was recovered as a residual find from the topsoil. Several large quarry pits were identified, similar to those identified previously on the site and likely have been the result of medieval iron ore extraction. A hearth pit and an undated charcoal-rich layer were also present. Although undated, these are likely to form a continuation of the iron processing activities identified during previous recording on the site. Post-medieval/modern remains were also present, and comprised a dumped layer adjacent to a former marl pit identified during previous works and a field boundary/drainage ditch. |
