Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Huntley Cartwright on behalf of their client Mr J Rowell to undertake a programme of archaeological works during works at Hardham Priory, Hardham, Pulborough (NGR 503395, 117115) between 20th April 2009 and 25th October 2011. Two broad phases of activity were identified during the course of the monitored groundwork: Phase 1 activity dated from the 13th-16th centuries (medieval) and Phase 2 activity dated from the 16th century onwards (post-medieval). Phase 1 activity related to the site's occupation during the medieval period when the priory was functioning. Phase 2 activity related to the dissolution of the priory and the redevelopment of the site into a farm during the post-medieval period. Archaeological evidence for medieval and post-medieval wall footings, in conjunction with historic map and documentary evidence, provided an illustration of what the site may have looked like during these periods, although the level of demolition and remodelling at the site has limited interpretation of the features. Natural geology encountered at 8.03m AOD (0.7m below ground level) in a service trench to the north of the utility room excavations. |
