Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by A and M Architectural Partnership to undertake an archaeological watching brief on land at Becket's Barn, Church Farm Holiday Village, Pagham, West Sussex. The site lies within the curtilage of Scheduled Ancient Monument 219 (West Sussex), Becket's Barn. The earliest remains identified consisted of possible burnt mound material which if verified may date to the Middle or Late Bronze Age. With the exception of a single sherd of Roman pottery from the alluvium, the watching brief did not identify any more evidence for the Romano-British or Saxon activity recorded during previous investigations. Chronologically, the next significant remains identified on the site probably represented a circular pigeon house that was perhaps an element of the original 13th-century Pagham Rectory complex. The origins of the earthworks to the south and east of Becket's Barn remain unclear, although they probably date to medieval or early post-medieval period. |
