Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by Archaeology South-East at land at Peelings Lane, Stone Cross, East Sussex between 13th and 21st February 2017. The fieldwork was commissioned by Archaeological Risk Management on behalf of their client, The KKH Banner Discretionary Settlement, in advance of a proposed residential development. The 32 evaluation trenches identified two areas of archaeological remains, mostly comprising of pits and ditches. The areas divide both spatially and chronologically with medieval occupation adjacent to Hailsham Road in the west (Trenches 1 and 2) and later Iron age/early Roman occupation on top of Blackness Hill in the east (Trenches 18, 23-29). Notably rare evidence of salt-working, a resource available in the nearby Willingdon Levels, was identified in the latter area. Elsewhere, the other trenches were devoid of archaeological finds and features. |
