Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Roedean School to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the construction of new sports facilities to the south of the existing school buildings (NGR 535186 103007). A considerable area of downland was mechanically reduced to level the ground for the construction of sports pitches. A small number of archaeological features were revealed, recorded and excavated, comprising four shallow pits, one deep pit containing a sequence of fills, and a gully/ditch. Pottery recovered from the gully suggested a Middle Bronze Age date for the feature, although later pottery in the same feature hinted at some longevity of use, perhaps stretching into the Iron Age. In the absence of any other closely datable evidence it is presumed that all of the other features were broadly prehistoric in date |
