Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Buro Four on behalf of The Rathfinny Estate, to undertake an Archaeological Strip, Map and Sample Excavation ahead of the construction of a new access road off White Way, Alfriston, East Sussex, TN31 7LB. Solid chalk geology was encountered at 55.92m AOD in the north west of the works monitored at Rathfinny Estate and a sequence of hill wash head deposits were encountered before clay with flints geology was noted in the south east at a maximum height of 27.12m AOD. Topsoil and plough soil were noted directly overlying the geological horizon with a thickness of approximately 0.30m. A former boundary ditch was noted just to the east to the existing field boundary which contained mainly 19th Century material. A cluster of Middle to Late Iron Age/ Early Roman pits was excavated at the south eastern extent of the road scheme. These pits produced evidence of salt production or importing, cereal agriculture and local pottery production. Activity from other periods was evidenced by topsoil and residual finds of prehistoric worked flint and topsoil and colluvial finds of medieval pottery.
