| Abstract: |
Excavations at Norton in Bishopstone, East Sussex, revealed a pit complex, a working hollow, a grave, a stove filled with burnt stones, a midden and a horizontal terrace of Middle Iron Age date. The evidence suggests, in addition, that a non post-built house may have been located within the area of the excavation. Traces of Late Iron Age activity were also found. Among the finds made were two chronologically sequential groups of saucepan pottery, a potin coin (from a Middle Iron Age context), a sherd of Campanian amphora, and an assemblage of non-local stone. The understanding of Iron Age Norton that these discoveries make possible clarifies the county's relationship to the period outside Sussex, and to other periods within it.
