Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Clifford Dann LLP to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Farrington Enterprise Estate, Hoyle Road, Peacehaven, East Sussex. (NGR 541560 101310). Three trenches were mechanically excavated to a cumulative length of 43m. Although there was a paucity of closely datable material, the orientation of one gully suggests it formed the continuation of one of a system of features forming Middle Iron Age droveways recorded on other sites in the locale. The ditch contained a small amount of Mesolithic or Neolithic worked flint thought therefore to be residual. The orientation of another gully/ditch suggests a post-medieval date, again based on the alignment of features encountered at other nearby sites in recent years. An otherwise undated post-hole, pit and ?spread may also belong to the Middle Iron Age, or variously to earlier or later periods. Artefacts from these consisted of a group of residual Mesolithic/Neolithic flintwork. |
