Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), a division of University College London Centre for Applied Archaeology (UCLCAA) was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation at St. Joseph's Orchard, Storrington, West Sussex (NGR 508707 114067). Fifteen trial trenches were mechanically excavated at the site during late December 2011 and early January 2012. Although there were areas of relatively recent truncation across the site, archaeological features of varying date and character survived in the majority of the trenches. A small assemblage of artefacts was also recovered from the overburden. Features included pits, post-holes, ditches, gullies and stretches of masonry. Prehistoric material (including residual Bronze Age pottery) was recovered as well as substantial quantities of medieval artefacts including pottery, animal bone and a half silver penny of Richard I (1189-99). Post-medieval assemblages were also recovered from a number of features. Samples showed some potential for the survival of a range of environmental evidence including charcoal and charred cereal grains. |
