Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA), Institute of Archaeology (IoA), University College London (UCL) was commissioned by CgMs to undertake an evaluation at Oldlands Farm, Bognor Regis, West Sussex, (NGR: 494170 101300). Seventeen archaeological evaluation trenches, each measuring 50.00m x 2.00m were excavated on the site. Manganese flecked orange brown brickearth, was encountered 1.70m AOD in the northern part of site, and at a lower level of 1.46m AOD in the Southern part of site. Archaeological features were identified within 12 of the 17 trenches. These comprised field boundary ditches, gullies and pits. The archaeological periods represented on the site ranged from the Late Bronze Age (c.1150-800) through to the Roman period (AD50 - 140) although it must be noted that this evidence is based on fragmented pottery sherds with few diagnostic elements. The densest concentration of prehistoric activity broadly appears to be in the northern central part of site (Trenches 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11). The remains further south appear to form elements of a Roman field system. A green glazed jug of c.13th date was also identified. |
