Abstract: |
In November 2010 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Parsonage Farm, Henfield, West Sussex. The project was commissioned by Charles Church South Coast. A planning application (Planning Ref: DC/09/1222) has been submitted to West Sussex County Council to develop an area of land at Parsonage Farm for residential usage. A desk-based assessment of the site was undertaken by Foundations Archaeology in July 2009. The assessment highlighted that the site has some archaeological potential for finds and features of the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. It also noted that the site area appears to have low potential for finds or features of the later Prehistoric, Roman or Saxon periods, which would be consistent with the results of evaluation trenching associated with earlier phases of development. Therefore, in accordance with the general principles of PPS5 (Planning Policy Statement 5), a condition requiring a programme of archaeological evaluation works was attached to the planning application by West Sussex County Council. A total of twenty five 50m by 2m trenches and fifty hand dug test-pits approximately 2m by 2m, excavated within the confines of the trenches, were excavated across the study area. |
