Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was carried out as Phase 2 of an evaluation of a site on land north of Dittons Farm, Polegate. Phase 1 had established that there were medieval features in the northwest part of the site, and Phase 2 was designed to investigate these further and to evaluate parts of the site not accessible in Phase 1. The excavation confirmed the presence of medieval features, which comprised a number of linear features, probably truncated ditches, together with an area of very degraded metalling. It was clear that the site had been subjected to ploughing which had severely truncated the archaeological features. The features dated to a fairly compact timeframe starting in the early 13th century, with intense activity during the 13th and early 14th centuries. Activity appears to rapidly drop off during the first half of the 14th century and appears to have ceased by 1350. Dittons Farm originated in the 13th century and it seems likely that the associated settlement extended north to include the area of the investigation. However, by 1350 the settlement had either shrunk in size or the farm had moved a short distance to the south, and the area of the site had been abandoned.
