Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2013 on Land at East Hunston, West Sussex. Seven trenches were excavated. No archaeological features were identified in any of the trenches, during the evaluation. Worked flint and medieval pottery and were recovered, however, from the overburden in some of the trenches across the Site, indicating that there has been human activity either on or close to the Site during the prehistoric and medieval periods. From a sondage in Trench 5, evidence of later prehistoric activity was recovered in the form of burnt flint, indicating that the reworked brown silty clay brickearth from which it was recovered, must have formed at some point during the Holocene. Whilst no Raised Beach deposits were identified (these clearly existing at greater depth at this location), evidence of deposits associated with the alluvial fan, which formed after the Lavant breached the South Downs were recorded |
