Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a 0.8ha block of land at 42 Flansham Lane, Felpham, West Sussex, PO22 6AG centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 496290 100550. The evaluation consisted of 9 trenches, comprising an approximate 5% sample of the site and was carried out between the 9th and the 12th of January 2012. The evaluation at Ivy Cottage Nursery established that archaeological remains are present within the Site. A small number of archaeological features, within four of the nine evaluation trenches, were identified. The features were comprised of a north to south aligned Romano-British ditch (205), a north-east to south-west ditch terminus (304), an east to west undated possible drainage ditch (807) and an undated pit (404) Two of the ditches and the undated pit were broadly located towards the northern half of the Site (Trenches 2, 3 and 4); the third possible ditch was located at the southern edge of the Site (Trench 8). The small number of features and finds found during the evaluation at Ivy Cottage Nursery indicates a low level of Middle-Late Bronze Age and Romano-British activity. No evidence was found to suggest any formal settlement or industrial activity within the Site although the datable material from the ditches and pit does suggest that this activity is associated with the concentrations of Bronze Age and Romano-British settlement activity found nearby to the north-west during previous evaluation in 2007. |
