Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by A and M Architectural Partnership to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at Becket's Barn, Church Farm Holiday Village, Pagham, West Sussex (NGR SZ 88422 97396). Two evaluation trenches were excavated. Trench T1 was taken down to the top of the alluvium at between 1.63m - 1.93m AOD: two ditches or channels were revealed at the base, running broadly N-S and a fragment of probably Medieval floor tile was recovered from one of the fills. These features almost certainly represented the edges of a c. 10m wide and 60m long linear depression; this was an element of extensive earthworks on the site which have been variously interpreted as fish ponds or sluices related to a suggested tide-mill immediately to the south. Trench 2 was taken down to the top of the alluvium at 1.65mAOD: a pattern of fine cracking in the alluvium and the presence of a thin overlying deposit of humified peat was evidence for the relatively rapid drying out of this area of the site. |
