Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to conduct a magnetometer survey on a site totalling approximately 4.6 hectares of land at Brede Lane, Sedlescombe, East Sussex. The work was undertaken between Monday 22nd and Wednesday 24th August 2016. Evidence for possible archaeological features was represented by moderate positive and negative anomalies. A broad linear anomaly crosses the site. This anomaly may represent evidence for an enclosure ditch. However, this anomaly mirrors the bands of mudstone within the sandstone, siltstone and mudstone noted on the BGS Geology of Britain viewer and along with weak positive and negative anomalies in the south of the site, as well as having a possible archaeological origin, may be the result of underlying geology. Anomalies in the east of the site relate to a trackway and field boundaries shown on the tithe. They are post-medieval or earlier in date. These extend northwest towards areas of magnetic debris. This likely represents near surface ferrous material, demolished buildings, ground disturbance or made ground in the area of agricultural buildings or a farmyard shown on the tithe. A number of possible archaeological features were encountered across the site including, former routeways, field boundaries, possible building remains and potential cut features such as pits. |
