Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	There was a very thin scatter of prehistoric material across the investigated area, suggesting intermittent Mesolithic - Early Neolithic activity on or in the environs of the site. Material from the Romano-British period offers the first evidence of identifiable activity in the form of ironworking waste. However this assemblage was undoubtedly imported to the site in the post-medieval period, and although it was unequivocal evidence of the industrial activity known to have been widespread in the Weald at that time and in later periods, it did not relate to activity actually at the site. Evidence of medieval activity was somewhat enigmatic, represented by a limited assemblage of often highly abraded sherds of pottery, usually recovered from provably later features, and two features tentatively dated to this period. It is more-than-likely that all of the medieval material recovered from the site was residual, and that this location on the fringes of the medieval village remained unoccupied at that time. However, there was clear evidence of an upsurge in activity at the site after 1500, A number of pits were dug at the site over the next two or three centuries, as well as a shallow gully, presumably for drainage. A limited assemblage of domestic material was deposited in these features. Physical evidence for the use of the site as a tannery dates to the 18th and 19th centuries, when the site also appears to have been sub-divided with ditches, again also acting as drainage. Some domestic material was also deposited in pits at this time. A block of tannery pits were active at this time, occupying much of the site; there are cartographic and documentary references to the presence of a tannery/fellmongery at the site at this time, and for the location of buildings.
