Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out during the construction of a new bungalow on the site of the Old Post Office, Barnham. This followed on from two stages of trial trenching, which exposed a series of terraces in the hillside and a layer of clay interpreted as a building platform (SCCAS Report No. 2009/121). This monitoring confirmed that a platform of clay, probably for a building of early post-medieval date survived towards the front of the property and that a layer of gravel below the clay sealed the top of what are interpreted as pits for the extraction of gravel. There were a number of pits across the site and these clearly represent a range of dates. The latest of these was c.3m deep and was infilled during the 20th century. |
