Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) were commissioned by RLF Construction and Property Consultants to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground works associated with the construction of a temporary new footpath at Lower Northbrook Farm, Durrington, West Sussex (NGR: TQ 1044 0384).Construction of a temporary footpath connecting the bus stop on the A259 to St. Barnabas' Hospice at Lower Northbrook Farm was monitored between December 2010 and January 2011.The only archaeological deposit identified was a potentially Romano - British layer adjacent to the balancing pond which contained Samian pottery. Unstratified worked flint, fire cracked flint and Roman pottery were located in the subsoil to the north of the site. This evidence, although minimal, corresponds with previous excavation results at Northbrook College and St Barnabas Hospice which suggested the area was in use throughout the Roman period as a domestic and agricultural site with later post medieval inclusions incorporated into the ploughed subsoil. |
