Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mildren Homes to carry out an archaeological evaluation of land to the south of Burndell Road, Yapton, West Sussex, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 498501 102797. The evaluation took place between 21 and 25 November 2016. The only archaeological features identified during the evaluation comprised one, or possibly two inter-cut features of uncertain origin, the fills of which produced a large assemblage of Early Neolithic pottery and worked flint. The traces of Early Neolithic activity revealed during the evaluation are particularly notable given the scarcity of contemporary evidence across the local region. The presence of these remains indicates that there is some potential for the presence of further archaeological features of Early Neolithic date to be encountered within the site.The small assemblage of other cultural material recovered during the evaluation all derived from secondary depositional contexts, and is consistent with a background level of activity during subsequent periods. The results of the evaluation suggest that there is negligible archaeological potential across much of the un-evaluated remainder of the Site, or for the presence of remains derived from periods other than the Early Neolithic. |
