Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was maintained on land south west and adjacent to Sheffield Park, A 275, East Sussex (NGR 541255 123780) The watching brief was maintained during the excavation of approximately 1150m of mains water pipe trench with associated easements and compounds. Presumed Roman industrial evidence was found consisting of iron bloom deposits in pits and possible postholes. Based on finds from previous works, this is probably associated with a Roman bloomery. Additional evidence of Neolithic and / or Bronze Age activity was recorded in a concentration of 11 worked flint artefacts, again reinforcing earlier evidence from previous work on the extant water pipeline. No other archaeology was found. |
