Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at Woodlands Close, Crawley Down, West Sussex, in advance of the development of the site and the construction of residential housing with associated infrastructure. Eleven evaluation trenches were excavated. Natural geological deposits comprising of moderately firm sand clay with manganese inclusions were encountered at a height of between 113.40m AOD at the north end of the site and 120.31m AOD at the south end of the site. Four ditches and eight pits and or small pits/postholes were recorded across the site but all are undated. Finds recovered from the topsoil and subsoil hint at some Mesolithic and medieval activity but apart from some 17th- to 18th- century CBM the finds were largely of a 19th- to early/mid 20th-century date. |
