Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with construction of a new single-storey classroom block; new reception infill extension; internal remodelling and refurbishment to existing school at Shelley Primary School, Wickhurst Lane, Horsham, West Sussex. Post-medieval structural remains associated with Slater's Farm which previously occupied the site, were noted along the northern site boundary, within the footprint of the proposed new car park (Trench 3). Two phases of wall construction were identified, along with a surviving remnant of internal flagstone floor. Historic map evidence suggests that the earlier stone wall is associated with a building constructed between 1844 and 1880 and the less substantial abutting brick wall a later addition, probably demarking the wider farm compound. |
