Abstract: |
A community archaeological excavation was supported by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2016 at East Dean Woods, West Sussex. The excavation area was located across a north/south orientated trackway and an associated relict field boundary, one of many such earthwork features serving within East Dean Woods. The excavation identified seven phases of activity between the Mesolithic and modern periods. The artefact assemblages from the excavation were mostly residual in nature. The earliest activity on site was a Mesolithic/Early Neolithic element with the finds assemblage and a sequence of relict plough soils and clearance cairns were identified spanning the Bronze Age/Iron Age to postmedieval period. The trackway had been cut through relict plough soils along the line of a north/south orientated lynchet boundary and may be as late as the post-medieval period. |
