Site Event/Activity record ESF24765 - Evaluation - Meadow land to the south of Farm Drive, Athelington Hall, Horham Road, Athelington

A trial trench evaluation was carried out at the above site in advance of the construction of three holiday lodges and an associated access road. Three trenches were excavated within the footprints of the proposed lodges and a fourth was positioned within the area of the access road. The trenches were between 8m and 16m long and 1.60m wide, and were excavated to an average depth of 0.40m below ground level. The evaluation revealed a simple sequence of turf and topsoil over natural boulder clay. No archaeological features or deposits were identified and no artefacts were found.
