Title | Archaeological surveys at Southwick Wood and Short Wood, Southwick, November 2008 |
Author/Originator | Morris, S. |
Date/Year | 2009 |
Abstract/Summary
Geophysical and fieldwalking surveys on farmland covering 4.42ha to the south of Southwick. The geophysical survey undertook a detailed survey that identified three parallel linear anomalies, probably drainage features. The fieldwalking survey, which followed on from the geophysical work, recovered a single Mesolithic flint implement. The earliest ceramic material recovered was six fragments of Roman tile. The medieval finds included three sherds of pottery and a single sherd of glazed tile. A moderate number of post medieval pottery sherds, concentrated on the northern side of the field, were also recovered. The majority of the roof tile, which formed a moderate scatter, was post medieval in date. Other finds included a fragment of 18th-19th century wine bottle, two pieces of metalworking debris and an iron agricultural tool of undertermined date. The majority of the finds were probably related to field manuring.
