Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land to the west of Shoreham Academy, Kingston Lane, Shoreham-by-sea, West Sussex, in advance of a proposed redevelopment of the school. The work was undertaken between the 15th and 22nd of February 2010 on behalf of Gifford and West Sussex County Council. Eight evaluation trenches measuring between 35 and 25 metres in length sampled the archaeology across the site. The natural horizon varied in depth from 9.810m OD in the north of the site and 8.266m OD in the south of the site. The evaluation trenches revealed four ditches, a posthole and a small gully that probably relate to agricultural activity in the surrounding area. The finds recovered from these features point to a early Roman date and they may represent field systems associated with Southwick Roman Villa to the east of the site. |
