Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by RSK Environment Ltd to conduct a magnetometer survey on a site totalling approximately c.8.7 hectares of land at Spithandle Lane, Steyning, West Sussex. The work was undertaken between Monday 9th and Friday 13th February 2015. The site consists of pasture land, with evidence for former arable use, with small areas of woodland. The site is mainly south facing over the crest of a low hill. Limited evidence for possible archaeological features was represented by discrete and linear positive anomalies. These are representative of cut features such as pits and ditches. It is possible that a number of these anomalies may also relate to in filled natural features or more modern agricultural activity. A linear anomaly noted running east to west is observed, along with areas of magnetic debris, as corresponding to a former trackway noted since at least the 1st Edition OS map. An area of magnetic debris corresponds to the former Upper Barn also noted in historical mapping. |
