Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East were commissioned by the National Trust to carry out an excavation in advance of a car park extension at Monk's House, Rodmell. The earliest stratified remains were a series of alluvilal/colluvial layers and a possible boundary of Late Iron Age/ earlier Roman date. A single ditch of probable Late Saxon date was overlain by a large earthwork platform, constructed from a subsoil-like deposit. This was clearly part of a larger system of earthwork terraces/platforms, identified during a previous phase of topographic survey. Pottery from the deposit, suggests that it was constructed in the Norman period. Although a scatter of features cut the platform deposit, these did not appear to be part of a building so the purpose of the platform remains uncertain. Of particular note is a fragment of litharge from this deposit which may suggest silver assaying or refining of silver in the vicinity. During the mid 12th to 13th century, there was a realignment in the landscape. A possible ditch-and-bank enclosure was recorded on an orientation which is different to the earthworks but notably similar to a nearby 12th century church. This phase of activity produced fairly rich finds and environmental assemblages, suggesting a peak in activity during this time. The final medieval phase was characterised by localised layers which may represent minor flooding events interspersed with attempts to consolidate the ground. There was a sharp contraction in activity in the 14th century, which can probably be tied to wider regional patterns of decline
