Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake an evaluation on land to the south of Hiland Barn, Stane Street, Billingshurst. The excavation of 17 trial trenches revealed three small post-holes and 4 stake holes of probable post-medieval date. A scatter of worked flint of Mesolithic and Neolithic date was also recovered from the topsoil and subsoils. The flint work appears to be concentrated in the western part of the site though this may be the result of colluvial action rather than representative of in situ activity. No evidence a Roman road was recorded, though it should be noted that the evaluation area excluded the retained tree belt in the western part of the site, which lies alongside Stane Street itself and it is therefore possible that such remains may survive within this unevaluated strip of land. |
