Abstract: |
This Report details the results of an Archaeological Walkover Survey undertaken by Border Archaeology Ltd on behalf of South East Water for the route of the Hourne Farm to Cottage Hill Mains Renewal Scheme, extending between Crowborough and Rotherfield (East Sussex). The proposed scheme consists of approximately 2.4km of pipeline extending from a connection point at Palesgate Lane, Crowborough to the Cottage Hill Reservoir, located to the south of the village of Rotherfield. Relatively few features of archaeological interest were noted along the route. However, there remains potential for encountering evidence of archaeological remains along specific sections of the route, including 1/a long-established ridgeway of prehistoric or Roman origin, running to the north of the B2100 between Crowborough and Rotherfield, 2/a focus of medieval and post-medieval ironworking activity at Jarvis Brook and Maynard's Gate, close to the western terminus of the route, 3/ the site of a post-medieval marl pit and an associated limekiln site north of Dewlands Manor, 4/ the site of a demolished post-medieval farm complex W of Old Forest Lane and 5/ the buried line of a Second World War anti-tank ditch located to the east of Palesgate Lane. |
