Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. on behalf of their client to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the south of Butler's Green Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex, in advance of the redevelopment of the site. A total of 21 trenches were excavated across the site, totalling some 481m trenching. The underlying natural geology, consisting of Tunbridge Wells Sand, was encountered at a maximum height of a maximum elevation of 94.41m OD in the south central part of the site, falling away to 92.79m OD in the far northwest of the site and 93.83m in the far northeast, with a minimum elevation of 91.34m OD recorded in the north central part of the site. Archaeological features recorded during the course of the evaluation largely consisted of field boundary ditches, with at least three superimposed field systems present on the site, including a north-south/east west field system of possible medieval date, a NNE-SSW/WNW-ESE aligned field system and a northwest-southeast aligned field system, both of which remain undated. Other features revealed include a handful of pits, most of which are scattered across the site with no obvious patterning , although a slight concentration of features, including a small hearth, in the south of the site might indicate transitory occupation of unknown date. |
