Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Regeneco to undertake a programme of geo-archaeological and archaeological fieldwork in advance of the consideration of a planning application for a proposed wind farm at Shepham, Polegate, East Sussex. The site is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 559940 105830. The geo-archaeological sequence revealed by the borehole survey at Shepham Farm provides an indication of a regionally important sequence that may greatly increase our understanding of the nature and timing of landform development in the East Sussex Coastal marshes. Preserved at the locale is a sequence which spans fully marine, intertidal and freshwater/terrestrial edge conditions. The sequence preserves a variety of palaeoenvironmental indicators and deposits suitable for dating and should be considered a high priority for further investigation. The associated archaeological evaluation encountered no significant features or finds. |
