| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising 175 trial trenches, each measuring 50 metres in length, was carried out. The trenching revealed a dense concentration of archaeological remains, in the form of ditched field systems, dated mostly from the Late Bronze Age period. A Middle Bronze Age cremation urn was recovered from the centre north of the site. A strip of low lying alluvial clay running across the centre of the site revealed a preserved waterlogged landscape and the remains of four probable Bronze Age burnt mounds. Three large ditches were also found across the site, two of which dating from either the Late Bronze Age and one possibly from the Roman period, which could potentially be associated with the Roman Chichester Dykes earthworks system. An enclosure dated from the Late Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age was discovered in the centre, north of the development site. A second possible enclosure dating to this period was revealed in the centre south of the site, and a Late Bronze Age stock enclosure was located in the centre of the site. Traces of an 18th century barn, known from cartographic evidence were found in the northern part of the site. Finally, a previously unknown EEII Anti-tank trap was traced through several trenches in the southern half of the site. [Au(abr)] |
