Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned to undertake a magnetometer survey on land at Horeham Flat Farm, Horam, East Sussex. The work was undertaken between Monday 7th and Friday 11th March 2016. Evidence for possible archaeological features was scant across the western two thirds of the site. This may be due to a lack of archaeology in this area or to a limitation of the technique such as increased overburden the soil depth is recorded as deep in the site. In the easternmost two enclosures possible archaeological features are more readily observed including the possible iron working bloomery site previously only recorded by small amounts of cinder (slag) and place name evidence. It may be possible to elucidate more about activity at the possible bloomery site. The bloomery may have been enclosed with ditches these anomalies may correspond to possible grass marks noted in the field to the south of Cindergill and outside of the site. Areas of strong magnetism are likely to tally with slag heaps, furnace locations or ore roasting. Moderate positive anomalies on the western side of the possible bloomery may be the result of cut features such as ditches or wheel ruts. A probable service is indicated to the north of the Site. |
