Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land to the north of Tilgate Dam, Tilgate, Crawley, West Sussex, in advance of a proposed raiding of the height of the dam and associated works. The work was undertaken between the 23rd and 25th of February 2010 on behalf of Jacobs and the Environmental Agency. Five evaluation trenches measuring between 5 and 8.5 metres in length sampled the archaeology across the site. The natural horizon varied in depth from 85.144m OD in the east of the site and 86.560m OD in the west of the site. The remains of several post-medieval buildings were uncovered as shown on the 1st edition OS map. The remains relate to the Lower Tilgate House and an earlier 16th phase of construction (Trench 1 and 2) and two possible mill buildings (Trench 4 and 5). |
