Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) undertook an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the replacement of a section of existing sewer pipe to the east of Balcombe Road, Horley, West Sussex, between 24th and 29th September 2008. The topsoil across the field contained modern debris and plough marks were visible, running parallel to the adjacent road, confirming the field's cultivation in more recent years. The only other features seen to disturb the natural strata were a series of modern field drains, aligned northwest-southeast, and a trench that was thought to contain pipework belonging to the system being upgraded in this project. The natural geology of the site was relatively consistent, although the river terrace gravels expected at the eastern extent of the field were not encountered. Where the natural strata were reached by the excavations, no archaeological features or deposits pre-dating the modern period were observed. |
