Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by Archaeology South-East on Land at Petworth Road, Wisborough Green, West Sussex between the 5th and 7th October 2016. The fieldwork was commissioned by Jones Homes in advance of housing development Eleven trenches measuring up to 30m in length were excavated. Small quantities of residual worked flint and Roman glass were recovered from the overburden along with an assemblage of medieval pottery and blast furnace slag. Three ditches were revealed across the site, which probably date from medieval period. Although the medieval pottery most likely derives from manuring, this is among the first archaeological interventions in Wisborough Green and the pottery recovered suggests that the village had closer links with the Surrey-Sussex pottery tradition, rather than that of West Sussex. Blast furnace slag suggests a nearby furnace, however, it could derive from elsewhere after having been used as road metalling. |
