Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology as part of the latest phase of works associated with the extension of the clay quarry at West Hoathly Brickworks, Sharpthorne, West Sussex. The work formed part of the Phase 2 (Part 10) Extraction and followed on from archaeological work undertaken during the Phase 2 (Parts 1-9) Extraction. Fifty minepits were identified, similar to those identified previously on the site and likely have been the result of medieval iron ore extraction. In addition to this an north-west/south east aligned ditch was identified which may be contemporary with the medieval mining activity. An extant clay extraction (marl) pit was also identified. |
