Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Jones Homes (Southern) Ltd to undertake a geophysical survey on Land at 88 Folders Lane, Burgess Hill, NGR 532798 117844. The work was undertaken between Tuesday 3rd October and Thursday 5th October 2017. Evidence for possible archaeological features was represented by moderate positive anomalies. A large linear strong positive anomaly is observed that may indicate a cut feature such as a ditch. Magnetic debris and associated probable cut features run across the site in an approximate south-west to north-east orientation. These anomalies correspond to a former boundary noted on the 1839 Ditchling tithe map. A series of indistinct but broad linear anomalies run in an approximate east to west orientation across the site. These anomalies are indicative of former agricultural practices such as ridge and furrow. The anomalies are observed with alignments continuing across the site and are therefore likely to pre-date the aforementioned former boundary. Later ploughing is indicated by parallel anomalies aligned with the former field boundary. Further east to west oriented anomalies are noted in the north of the site. |
