| Abstract: |
Rescue excavations were undertaken at Franks' Sandpit, Betchworth as a result of the planning inspector's neglecting to apply, at appeal, a condition which would have enabled archaeological work prior to extraction. Two seasons of work were undertaken in 1995 and 1996. Two sites were investigated, in the first, three phases of activity characterised by dug pits were recognised, these dated to the Late Mesolithic and Neolithic, Late Neolithic and the Late Bronze Ages. The second site had Late Bronze Age activity and in the Late Iron Age and early Romano-British period a ditched enclosure, representing a small farmstead was created. Minimal medieval and post-medieval activity was also noted. [Au] |
