Abstract: |
This document sets out the results from an archaeological watching brief carried out by West Sussex Archaeology Ltd, on behalf of the owner, at Pitlands Farm, Up Marden, West Sussex. The works were carried out in May 2019 as a watching brief on landscaping work associated with both the construction of a new summer house and the creation of an access track to an existing ancillary building. Pitlands Farm overlies the remains of a substantial Roman bath house and other associated structures forming part of a presumed villa complex, which is a Scheduled Monument (No.1015235). An earlier evaluation over the site of the summer house had revealed a north-south running ditch and a series of pits, all of medieval date. The watching brief exposed further pits, probably of a similar date. In the area of the access track the earlier evaluation had revealed a single east-west running ditch, probably again of medieval date. A longer stretch of this ditch was exposed during the course of the watching brief. |
