Abstract:
An evaluation of a 2.4km single carriageway by-pass road around the village of Angmering revealed evidence for Neolithic, Bronze Age and mid-late Saxon activity in the northern part of the route. A programme of excavation carried out over 9 weeks uncovered a Mid-Late Bronze Age enclosed settlement of a type well known in the South Downs but extremely rare on the coastal plan. Also present was a large ditch of similar date, perhaps forming part of a defensive earthwork. There was little evidence for Iron Age or Roman activity on the site. The Saxon features comprised parts of a large rectilinear ditched enclosure. A quantity of Neolithic flintwork suggested earlier activity at the site, although no pottery or features of this date were discovered. A geological investigation revealed significant potential for understanding the Pleistocene coastal topography in the central part of the by-pass route. [Au(abr)]
