Abstract:In June 2009 an excavation was conducted in the village of Eartham, near Chichester, to investigate a group of buildings shown on 18th- and 19th-century maps. The remains of at least one building were located, together with large quantities of building material. Finds included pottery, animal bone, clay pipes, metalwork and glass; these suggest a date range for occupation of the buildings from the mid 17th century to the mid 19th century. Evidence was also found of occupation on the site from the medieval period, including a 13th-century cesspit
