Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE; a division of The Centre for Applied Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London) was commissioned by Asprey Homes Southern Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Stafford House, Ockley Road, Hassocks, West Sussex. A Total of 11 trenches were excavated across the site to reveal the underlying natural geology at a maximum height of 50.72m OD in the southeast of the site, falling away to 47.82m OD to the north and 48.19 to the northeast. Although several features were identified in the east of the site, these proved to be almost exclusively of later 19th-early 20th century date, including a rubbish pit, a NNE/SSW aligned ditch and cut of uncertain origin which may represent the grubbed out remains of a small brick building. A further undated east-west aligned ditch was also identified. Although the route of the east-west aligned Greensand Way is shown to run directly through the site, no evidence for the road was identified durgin the course of the fieldworks and its route is considered to diverge from the inferred route suggested by Margary in his survey of Roman roads in the Weald. |
