Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd was instructed by Ian Ellis Esq. of Southern Planning Practice Ltd to carry out Archaeological Observation in connection with an Appeal Decision to allow, subject to Conditions, a planning application for change of use of land to mixed agricultural and equestrian (dressage) use, retention of barn in reconfigured form, retention of horse-walker etc. at Brackenwood Telegraph Hill Midhurst West Sussex GU29 0BN (NGR: SU 8710 2630). The archaeological work related specifically to a c.50m section of 'ancient parish boundary ditch' that had been infilled with spoil resulting from construction activity associated with the adjacent American barn. Archaeological Observation was carried out in compliance with Condition 2 of the Appeal Decision, which required the removal of all modern spoil and the reinstatement and restoration of the ditch 'in order to benefit the appearance of the development and to maintain or enhance the environment around the site'. Spoil removal was carried out using a tracked excavator and toothless bucket operating under continuous archaeological supervision to reveal the original ditch profile. This report provides details of the work undertaken and confirms reinstatement of the ditch. |
