Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Denton Homes Ltd to conduct a magnetometer survey on a site totalling approximately c.4.6 hectares of land at Shrub Lane, Burwash, East Sussex. The work was undertaken on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th July 2016. Evidence for possible archaeological features is represented by moderate positive and negative anomalies. The northernmost of these features indicates a possible bank and ditch with a sharp turn but otherwise following the contours of the slope and overlooking the valley. In the south of the site broad anomalies suggest a feature such as a Holloway. Neither of these features appear on the 1839 tithe map, where the enclosure is shown as being cultivated for hops, nor do they appear on later Ordnance Survey mapping. Possible cut features such as pits are indicated across the site. A small number of dipolar anomalies may relate to heat related activity such as kilns, ovens or furnaces. However, these are more likely to relate to near surface ferrous (iron) objects. |
