Abstract:		 Evidence for prehistoric and post-medieval activity was recorded during a watching brief on 2.4km of underground cable. Burnt flint, occasional pottery sherds and burnt stone were recorded in buried, often charcoal-rich deposits below the modern ploughline in 3 areas: the field north of Sandfield Wood, the field to the east of the quarry at Finchcocks Farm, where a pit and a few pieces of iron slag associated with the prehistoric pottery were also recorded; and at Little Scotney Farm, where a collection of 15 pieces of Neolithic worked flint was recovered from a buried soil above a cut feature. Colluvial deposits are present on these hill-slopes and soil build-up has protected lower deposits to some degree. A small flint blade was recovered on the hilltop where the route passed close to Rookery Wood and worked flint also observed in the edge of a ploughed field in the River Teise valley south of Spelmonden, suggesting the whole area was being utilised during the prehistoric period. A seven metre long clinker surface containing occasional transfer-ware fragments adjoining a three metre length of cobbled surface was recorded just below the turf close to the new-substation at Finchcocks House. Three brick drains associated with hop-garden drainage ditches were recorded in the hop-gardens.
