Abstract:		 A Community Archaeology project was organised by Archaeology South-East. This report provides the results of the fourth season of archaeological investigation of a 3.7ha field called Little Stiances, located at Sharpsbridge Lane, Newick, East Sussex. This work was carried out in June 2019. Geophysical and topographic surveys carried out in 2010 confirmed the location of a 'lost' cottage known from cartographic sources and allowed the targeting of test-pits at that location in 2010, 2013 and 2016. Other target areas identified during those surveys, including house platforms and a sunken routeway, were investigated in 2013 and 2016. In 2019 test-pits were again located at the site of the cottage and garden, and on either site of the identified routeway. Unfortunately work at the site was somewhat curtailed by poor weather, but as in previous years, the 'Cottage Site' produced a variety of finds reflecting the occupation of buildings in that part of the field, mostly dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Finds ranged from elements of the fabric of the building to pottery, clay pipes and domestic items such as buttons. Test-pits located to the west of the sunken routeway showed a marked concentration of medieval pottery, strongly suggesting the presence of medieval occupation fronting onto the sunken way leading from the road towards the cottage site. A platform to the east of the route, presumed to be the site of a building produced little material. The recovery of the usual background scatter of Mesolithic/Early Neolithic flintwork from the site highlights the use of the general area by Hunter/Gatherers, and continued to stretch the site's chronology back into prehistory.
