Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by RPS to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land west of Stane Street, Pulborough, West Sussex. Three trenches were mechanically excavated on the site, to reveal the underlying natural geology between 32.44m and 42.78m AOD. A total of eight features were identified, including a large linear feature identified and investigated during a prior geophysical survey and Stage 1 evaluation on the site, where it was dated to the medieval period. The recovery of a small assemblage of probable post-conquest pottery from this feature would now suggest that it is of early Roman date and may represent a hollow way or similar feature. a wide, shallow linear feature immediately adjacent to the Roman road of Stane Street may be either of Roman or later date since it seems respect the alignment of the adjacent Roman road. Other features identified include several ditches and two small postholes, all of which remain largely undated, with the exception of two (probably residual) struck flint flakes from two of the ditches. |
