Abstract: |
An archaeological and geoarchaeological watching brief was maintained during riverbank stabilisation works on the River Ouse near Southerham Grey Pit, Southerham, Lewes, East Sussex (NGR 542484 109294). Excavations were undertaken near the site of a borehole sunk in 1975 which revealed a layer of peat dated by C14 analysis to the Neolithic period. The groundworks involved the removal of c.3m of material to a maximum depth of c.3.9m to form a vertical face on an 18m long stretch of the riverbank. The encountered deposits consisted of topsoil, made ground and alluvium, with the excavation not deep enough to disturb the underlying, dated peat. No archaeological features were noted in any of the layers and no artefacts were recovered from the spoil. |
