Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation on the site of the proposed new Brighton and Hove Albion Training Ground, New Monk's Farm, Lancing, West Sussex, in advance of the redevelopment of the site. A total of 39 trenches were excavated on the site, targeted on areas of elevated ground to the north and south of the site that are considered to have formed foci for past human activity.The underlying natural geology of the site generally consisted of an outcrop of Head Deposits in the south of the site, recorded between 4.72m OD and 4.28m OD, with alluvial deposits of the River Adur across the remainder of the site, recorded between 4.56m OD and 2.59m OD. Archaeological features recorded during the course of the evaluation appear to be restricted to the higher ground targeted by the trenching exercise and largely consisted of elements of a historic agricultural landscape. This included evidence for the former Mash Barn Lane, depicted on historic mapping from the 18th century onwards, as well as a number of field boundary ditches broadly perpendicular to or parallel with the line of Mash Barn Lane and probably representing evidence for an associated field system. Other feature recorded include an undated ditch on a northwest-southeast alignment that may represent evidence for earlier land division on the site and a small pit of possible prehistoric date containing a large quantity of charred hazelnut shells and wood charcoal as well as a small assemblage of undiagnostic struck flint. |
