Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Bovis Homes (Southern) Ltd to conduct an archaeological excavation at a c.1.1ha site on land to the north of Arundel Road, Peacehaven, East Sussex during February and March 2014. The earliest material encountered was a residual flint of possible Palaeolithic date; a possible Levallois core. Limited quantities of Mesolithic/Early Neolithic flintwork were also recovered from later deposits. The first evidence of in situ activity is of Middle Neolithic pits containing small assemblages of pottery and flintwork. At some stage during the Late Neolithic to Late Bronze Age ditches forming part of a field system and/or droveway were installed in the western part of the site. These were superseded by a series of Middle Iron Age droveways and a small number of pits containing pottery. Small amounts of Romano-British pottery suggest that this route across the landscape was still in use in the 1st century AD. No features dating from later periods were identified. |
