Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken in January and February 2016 at Goddards Green, Burgess Hill, West Sussex. The excavation identified two phases of archaeological activity, the first dating to the early/middle Roman periods and the second to the late medieval/early post-medieval period. The Roman period activity comprised boundary ditches, pits, post-holes and ovens. A large assemblage of pottery was recovered; the majority is broadly Roman in date, with more closely-dated forms suggesting an early/middle Roman date for the assemblage as a whole. Plant macrofossils recovered from the ditches indicate that crop processing was taking place nearby. Late medieval/early post-medieval activity comprised four kilns. No artefacts were recovered, and radiocarbon dating was undertaken to confirm the dating of these features. Large amounts of bracken and beech charcoal were identified within the bulk soil samples, suggesting the use of these kilns for potash production as part of the wider potash/lye industry in the area. | |||||||||
