Excavation of two rock shelters at Eridge during 1999 yielded close to 500 struck flints of Mesolithic date and evidence of possible Late Iron Age/Early Romano-British iron-smelting. Although disturbed by animal activity, the relationship of the finds to each other and to the sediments in which they were found indicated the existence of former land surfaces and activity areas. Buried positive features, including two hearths and a pour of tap-slag, were also identified.
