Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Bovis Homes Ltd to conduct a magnetometer survey on a site totalling approximately c.5.2 hectares of land at Ditchling Road, Wivelsfield, East Sussex. The work was undertaken between Wednesday 13th and Friday 15th May 2015. The site consists of pasture land, with evidence for former arable use, with small areas of woodland. The site is mainly south facing over the crest of a low hill. Limited evidence for possible archaeological features was represented by discrete positive anomalies. These are representative of cut features such as pits and ditches. It is possible that a number of these anomalies may also relate to in filled natural features or more modern agricultural activity. Linear anomalies noted in the east of the area are observed, which may relate to earlier agricultural activity such as ridge and furrow. Areas of magnetic debris correspond to a bank, interpreted as a possible former boundary. An area of magnetic debris, corresponds to an entrance way to an enclosure, and may relate to consolidation activity. Some of the features identified may be the result of more recent agricultural activity, infilling of natural features or combination of these. |
