Abstract: |
Short description of the project Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Cala Homes to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Wychwood, Turners Hill Road, Crawley Down, West Sussex. Eight trenches were mechanically excavated at the site and features were identified in six of them. Nine features were investigated and out of those, seven produced material of post-medieval date. The other two features remain undated but due to the similarity in fills and their location, they are likely to be of post-medieval date as well. The site seems to have remained opened and might have been used as pasture land. The ditches and gullies found in trenches 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 seem to suggest land use and possible field systems while the postholes and depressed area in Trench 7 could have belonged to an outbuilding. This interpretation seems consistent with the presence of the cottage depicted on the 1839 Tithe Map. |
