Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Land West of Horsham, West Sussex. The work was undertaken between the 25th and 27th June 2008 on behalf of Countryside Properties. Four trenches, all measuring 20 metres in length by 2 metres in width were excavated across the area of proposed development. The underlying natural clay was encountered at a maximum height of 37.11m OD to the east of the area of investigation (Trench 1) falling away to 32.67 m OD to the west corner of the area of investigation (Trench 4). Two linear features were noted in Trenches 1 and 3. Both were concave in nature and orientated in an east to west direction and may represent a continuation of the feature, however, there was no direct evidence of this. No dating evidence was recovered from either feature. A pre-existing modern field boundary was see to continue between Trenches 3 and 4. It was partially filled by a hill wash deposit from a hill to the south Modern deposits were encountered within Trenches 2 and 4, representing made ground laid as probable gateways between the fields that has since gone out of use. A Victorian water pipe within its original cut was also seen in Trench 2. |
