Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of The Centre for Applied Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, was commissioned by Gethin Davies (High Voltage Maintenance Services on behalf of EDF Energy to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of groundworks associated with a new energy supply at Bardown Oast Farm, Stonegate, East Sussex. The trenching initially followed the line of the power cables across two fields. However, during initial excavation of trenches a pit containing a high quantity of slag material, a roman wall and an associated layer of burning was encountered towards the north end of the field. It was decided that these remains would be preserved insitu due to their significance to the area. The cable trenching was directed along a new route around the edges of the two fields. From this excavation three features were discovered. Two possible drainage channels were discovered in trenching to the far south-eastern corner of the fields while a possible trampled trackway leading to the large slag bank was found in trenching in the far south-western corner of the fields. All work was undertaken between the 31st March and the 11th April 2008 |
