Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology (CA) as a continuing programme of works associated with the extension of the clay quarry at West Hoathly Brickworks, Sharpthorne, West Sussex. 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. At least one iron-smelting furnace pit was also present and this appears to have been partially protected by a shelter or windbreak. Other slag-filled pits and postholes were present close to the furnace pit. Although these features contained no dateable finds, they are likely to be medieval in date, given their proximity and similarity to medieval ironworking structures and features identified in an adjacent area. |
