Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by The Sunley Group Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land east of Kings Way, Burgess Hill, West Sussex. A total of 98 trial trenches of varying lengths were mechanically excavated to across the site. The trenches were located to target geophysical anomalies identified during a previous magnetometer survey. Of the 94 trenches, two field boundary ditches and a small undated linear feature were the only remains identified.The earliest find from the site was residual later 15th/16th century roof tile from a 19th/early 20th century ditch. This may derive from one of the early post-medieval buildings known to have stood in the vicinity. Of the three ditches identified, only one contained datable finds. However considering the form and location of the other two, these are more than likely also former post-medieval land divisions. In conclusion, before enclosure in the late medieval/post-medieval period the site seems to have been woodland lacking any substantial human activity. |
