Account of the Remains of a Roman Villa, discovered at Bignor, in Sussex, in the Years 1811, 1812, 1813, 1814, and 1815, by Samuel Lysons, V.P., F.R.S., published 1817 in Archaeologia; or Miscellaneous Tracts relating to Antiquity (vol. 18, article, pp.203-221) accessible at: British Library & West Sussex Libraries   View Online

The village of Bignor, in Sussex, is pleasantly situated on the north side of the South Downs, at the distance of about nine miles from the sea, six miles from Petworth, and about the same distance from Arundel. Within half a mile of the village runs a Roman road very distinctly marked, leading from Chichester by way of Pulborough (where it crosses the river Arun) to Dorking, and from thence to London. On this road there was great reason to expect some traces of a Roman station about Bignor, as Richard of Cirencester, in his fifteenth Iter, next after Regnum, proceeding eastward, introduces a station which he terms "Ad decimum," not noticed in the Itinerary of Antonine; and Bignor is, by the Roman road, about ten miles disstant from Chichester, the Regnum of the Romans. No Roman remains had however been noticed near this place till the year 1811, when a mosaic pavement was discovered by the plough in the month of July, in a field called the Deny, about a quarter of a mile east of the church, part of a copyhold estate held under the Earl of Newburgh by Mr. George Tupper, a respectable farmer, by whom it is also occupied. The inhabitants of the village have a tradition, that Bignor formerly stood in this field, and the common field adjoining, on the east, called the Town-Field.

I have examined the colours found on the walls of the Roman house discovered at Bignor in Sussex, and I find that they are similar in chemical composition to those employed in the baths of Titus at Rome, and in the houses and public buildings at Pompeii and Herculaneum.

The Roman Road, Rowhook (Sussex) to Farley Heath (Surrey), by S.E. Winbolt, published October 1923 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 3, issue 4, article, pp.365-368)   View Online

A stretch of about four yards of the Roman Stane Street, or rather the core of it, which I have recently laid bare at Alfoldean, near Slinfold, Sussex, was made up of two layers of biggish slabs of local stone set in sand on top of the local clay. The surface of the Roman road had been used in the make-up of the modern road (1810), but plenty of it is scattered about in the fields, and i t is quite obvious that it was composed of three elements: chert from the lower greensand at Petworth and Fittleworth, flints from the South Downs, and sea-pebbles from the south coast, probably Shoreham. This definite datum, and the knowledge that near Rowhook on the line of the Rowhook-Farley Heath road, as marked on the Ordnance map, was a field traditionally called 'Stone Field', prompted me to test the line for road-metal, after having obtained permission from Mr. Lee Steere, of Ockley, and a series of friendly landowners and farmers.

A part-volume describing the cathedral and port city of Chichester, including a detailed account of the architecture of the cathedral.

The publication of the third volume of the Victoria County History of Sussex is a matter of great importance to all who are interested in Sussex.
Held up for nearly 30 years by many causes, it now resumes its progress under the able editorship of Mr. L. F. Salzman, M.A., F.S.A.
The first part of the present volume deals with the Roman occupation of Sussex and its remains. This is contributed by Mr. S. E. Winbolt, who has made a special study of the period. It contains a map of the sites of all known Roman finds and a list of the finds themselves, except that at Balcombe, recorded in S.N. Q. iii, 160.
The second portion gives the history of Chichester, its City, Cathedral and Port, with a note on Kingsham. The architectural and general descriptions of the City were drawn up by the late Dr. William Page (the original Editor of the V.C.H. Series) and Mr. Hurford Rowe, the Heraldic details being contributed by the Rev. E. E. Dorling.
Both portions are fully illustrated.
The history of the City was undertaken by Professor Elizabeth Levett, but her lamented death, followed by that of Dr. Page himself, left the matter incomplete and caused further delay. Special mention should be made of the assistance given by Mr. W. D. Peckham in many ways and by Mr. W. H. Godfrey, who has contributed a fine plan of the Cathedral in addition to giving much time to the preparation of the plan of the Precincts.
It is hoped that the issue of the present volume will be quickly followed by one dealing with the Rape of Hastings, while another comprising the Rape of Lewes will follow in 1936.
It is hoped that all concerned with the history of Sussex (and who of our readers is not ?) will possess themselves of these valuable volumes, which may be obtained for two guineas each.

Trial excavations on the site of a new post office on the north side of West Street, Chichester, were conducted by Mr. F. Cottrill in 1934 on behalf of H.M. Office of Works, and a report on these will appear in the Sussex Archaeological Collections. During the subsequent preparation of the ground for the new building, the site has been watched, with the permission of H.M. Office of Works, by Mr. W. Ll. White, to whom I am also indebted for the photographs on pl. lxxii, taken under great difficulties. Thanks are also due to Mr. Smith of H.M. Office of Works, and Messrs. Privett for their zeal in preserving the remains.

The Archaeology of Sussex, by E. Cecil Curwen, M.A., M.B., B.Ch., F.S.A., published 1937 (xviii + 338 pp., London: Methuen & Co. Ltd.) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15996] & East Sussex Libraries

Dr. Cecil Curwen has contributed so much to our knowledge of prehistoric Sussex, that we welcome his new volume in the series of County Archaeologies, which is devoted chiefly to pre-Roman remains. It is based largely on researches in which he himself has taken part, or on earlier work which his independent personal observations have enabled him to appraise. He leaves little space for the relics of the Roman occupation, and for a few antiquities of doubtful age which he relegates to a chapter headed "Limbo". He does well to omit all reference to the Saxon period, which would have curtailed too much his valuable account of the earlier phases of life in the county.
Dr. Curwen's book is admirably written to interest the general reader, and has many features - such as the quotations in chapter headings - which will captivate. He illustrates and explains the discoveries in Sussex by frequent references to corresponding finds elsewhere, and to customs which are not familiar. He also provides ample drawings and photographs which are noteworthy for their excellence; and he adds a useful series of small maps of the county, showing the geographical distribution of the known remains of different periods. Nor is he unmindful of the specialist and the reader who will be led to go further, for he gives in footnotes numerous references to the papers and separate works in which the original descriptions and detailed information will be found.
After some important preliminary observations, Dr. Curwen proceeds to describe and discuss the Sussex evidence of the primeval hunters and food-gatherers of Palaeolithic times. He enlists the aid of Mr. Reid Moir, who furnishes the material for a table of correlation of the Pleistocene deposits of Sussex, and adds some interesting remarks on the discoveries at Piltdown. It appears that no undoubted late Palaeolithic implements have hitherto been found in Sussex, but Mesolithic flints are widely spread, sometimes in rock shelters. The late Mr. Lewis Abbott found many of these flints in a "kitchen-midden" below Hastings Castle, but Dr. Curwen points out that none of the pottery in this deposit can be earlier than the Iron Age, while some is mediaeval, so that the accumulation is of various dates.
The dawn of civilisation was reached in Neolithic times, which are represented in Sussex by camps, dwelling places, long barrows, and flint mines. Dr. Curwen remarks that too many of the hill forts have been described as Neolithic camps on insufficient evidence, and only four have hitherto been satisfactorily identified in Sussex. Twelve long barrows are known on the chalk downs, but there are no stone chambers or dolmens. If the barrows were originally chambered, wood may have been used as in a long barrow lately explored in Lincolnshire. There seems to be no longer any doubt as to the Neolithic date of the flint mines, the supposed palaeoliths being really neoliths in process of manufacture.
After a special discussion of the flint implements, Dr. Curwen concludes that the finest of them were probably made and used in the early part of the Bronze Age. This age seems to have lasted in Britain from about 2000 to 500 B.C., and is noteworthy for the beginning of agriculture which can be studied in settlements on the downs. Nearly a thousand round barrows or burial mounds of the period have been identified in Sussex, chiefly on the Downs, and they have yielded a valuable series of urns and implements of various kinds. Still more important are the hoards of bronze implements, of which tabulated lists are given.
With the Iron Age comes evidence of the first cities; and Cissbury, the Caburn, and other sites are well described. Dr. Curwen then adds a concise technical chapter on the development of pottery, by which the late Bronze Age and the successive phases of the Iron Age are distinguished. Next follows an equally concise account of Roman Sussex, which is well up to date like the rest of the book, and includes the results of Mr. I. D. Margary's studies on the Roman roads. Among the subjects in "Limbo" is the Long Man of Wilmington, which is said to be very ancient but of uncertain date.
Dr. Curwen has spared no pains in verifying the facts and consulting the original sources, and he has used for the first time the valuable MS. diary of Dr. Gideon A. Mantell, of which Dr. Eliot Curwen has given a copy to the library of the Sussex Archaeological Society in Lewes. It is sad to note how many of the older finds have been lost, but gratifying to learn how carefully everything of importance is now preserved. Dr. Curwen is indeed to be congratulated on having produced a most valuable and inspiring work which will foster both discovery and preservation.

Roman Roads with Small Side Ditches, by Ivan D. Margary, published January 1939 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 19 issue 1, article, pp.53-56)   View Online

Roman roads are frequently described as having ditches beside them, but these are usually large hollows of varying depth and width from which material has been scooped to form the agger of the roadway. The ditches discussed here are of quite a different type, and so far only four instances of them are known, though it is very probable that others exist. They are quite small, usually 3-7 ft. wide and a few inches deep; are cut in accurately straight lines parallel with the road and distant from it on each side by a space roughly equal to the width of the actual roadway; and are apparently found only in places where the road is crossing high and fairly level ground.

It is probably true to say that Mr. Margary has done more to set the study of Roman roads on an objective and scientific basis than any previous student of the subject, and this in spite of the fact that his work has been practically confined to the geographical area of the Weald in the south-east corner of England. This is because he has set a standard of objectivity and scientific method which will be a minimum requirement in future research. In Sussex alone he has by such methods discovered and recorded well over 100 miles of previously unknown, and in some cases unsuspected, Roman roads - a feat of which any archaeologist might well be proud. The importance of this work lies not so much in the thrill of discovery, nor even in the ability to add detail to the map of Roman Britain, as in the light these new discoveries throw on the social and economic problems of the Romano-British countryside. For while the wealth of the Weald lay in iron, that of the Downs consisted in corn, and the distribution of the Roman roads in the Weald shows how the Romans exploited both.

The Archaeology of Sussex, by E. Cecil Curwen, published 1954 (2nd revised edition, 330 pp., London: Methuen & Co. Ltd.) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 69] & West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries

In the seventeen years that have passed since the first edition of this book appeared, and even more in the twenty-five since the publication of the author's seminal work, Prehistoric Sussex, a long series of excavations has been carried out along the seaboard and Downlands of Sussex, largely by or for the Society and its affiliated bodies under archaeologists, whom to name would be invidious, inspired by the work of Dr. Curwen and his distinguished father. The book has been skilfully revised and brought up to date, without much disturbance of the text and illustrations of 1937. The footnotes, which abound in references to the Society's and other publications of the forties and fifties, form an easy guide to the revisions and additions. For example, we have accounts, inter alia, after Burstow's work on the Bronze Age site on Itford Hill and of Dr. A. E. Wilson's recent work at Chichester. While the book was in proof Dr. Curwen was able to record the startling recent exposure of the Piltdown forgery.
With the Iron Age, with which unfortunately the book had to conclude, we get out of prehistory into history, even before the Romans came. For example, we have the tin-copper coins from the Caburn. These barbaric copies of Gaulish coins, originating at Massilia, bear a head and a bull. Dr. Curwen suggests that the head represents Apollo; but may we not infer from the bull that it rather represents that other sun-god, dear to the Roman legions, Mithras? The present writer is no prehistorian - indeed so little of one that it is only now that his belief, acquired in school days at Lancing, that dewponds are prehistoric, was a delusion, and that they are not to be dated earlier than the eighteenth century. So it is with great hesitation that he offers the suggestion above.
To the Iron Age belongs the network of Roman roads from the coast and over the Weald, which Mr. Margary has done so much to map out. Dr. Curwen gives a clear, though necessarily brief, resume of Mr. Margary's conclusions.
The wartime activities of tanks, and the even more drastic post war effects of bulldozers, will make future archaeological work difficult, especially on the Downs, where prehistoric habitations were thickest. But they may provide fresh problems for the archaeologists of the thirtieth century.

Dark Age Britain: Studies presented to E. T. Leedes with a bibliography of his works, edited by D. B. Harden, published 1956 (Methuen & Co. Ltd.)

This well-produced quarto volume, compiled from essays by 14 experts, was written as a token of affection and esteem, as a memorial to E. T. Leeds, who has rightly been called the "doyen of British Dark Age Archaeologists".
It has been divided into three portions: firstly, Roman and Celtic Survival; secondly, the Pagan and the Saxons; and lastly, the Christian Saxon and the Viking Age. Several of the chapters are of considerable interest, especially the one by Francoise Henry on "Irish enamels of the Dark Ages" and their relation to the Cloisonné techniques, and also D. B. Harden, "Essay on Glass Vessels in Britain and Ireland", and in which several specimens discovered in Sussex are illustrated, including the very fine example, now in Barbican House, from the Alfriston cemetery, and a quite remarkable one from Highdown, now in the Worthing Museum. There are several references to Sussex, and in his essay on the Anglo-Saxon settlement in Eastern England T.C. Lethbridge states, "Botanists nowadays express doubt on the former existence of impassable forests on the clay uplands".
Throughout the volume line plates and figures are of fine clear quality, and a great help in elucidating the text. A thoroughly sound good book.

Early in November 1961 a farmer and his son were engaged in deep ploughing one of the fields at Bullock Down Farm (O.S. 577962) at Beachy Head near eastbourne in Sussex, when they noticed a scatter of perhaps a hundred copper coins. These they carefully gathered up, and, after a vist to the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum, they were encouraged to return to the spot where they recovered over the next few days a grand total of 5,146 coins.

For many years ever-increasing reports of Roman buildings and other finds from the neighbourhood of the village of New Fishbourne, one mile west of Chichester, have indicated the existence of an extensive early Roman settlement in the area. Early in 1960, during the construction of a water main across fields to the north of the main Chichester-Portsmouth road, a trench was cut through a Roman building which was found to incorporate massive masonry blocks and a mosaic floor. The pottery from the trench was predominantly first century. Accordingly, the Chichester Civic Society arranged a three-week trial excavation at Easter 1961, on the results of which further excavations were undertaken during the period 22nd July to 31st August. The work was made possible by generous grants from the Chichester Corporation, the Ministry of Works, the Society of Antiquaries, the Haverfield Trustees, the Marc Fitch Fund, the Sussex Archaeological Society, and by the public's response to the appeal. Nine students, mainly from Cambridge and Oxford, were employed throughout the excavations.

The second season's excavation at Fishbourne was concentrated on the eastern part of the southern field, shown by last year's work to be occupied by the eastern wing of the Period 2 building. In addition, trial trenches were dug in other parts of the village in order to examine the extent and nature of the Roman settlement.

Early in 1963 much of the land occupied by the Roman building at Fishbourne was purchased by Mr. I. D. Margary, M.A., F.S.A., and was given to the Sussex Archaeological Trust. The Fishbourne Committee of the trust was set up to administer the future of the site. The third season's excavation, carried out at the desire of this committee, was again organized by the Chichester Civic Society. About fifty volunteers a day were employed from 24th July to 3rd September. Excavation concentrated upon three main areas; the orchard south of the east wing excavated in 1962, the west end of the north wing, and the west wing. In addition, trial trenches were dug at the north-east and north-west extremities of the building and in the area to the north of the north wing. The work of supervision was carried out by Miss F. Pierce, M.A., Mr. B. Morley, Mr. A. B. Norton, B.A., and Mr. J. P. Wild, B.A. Photography was organized by Mr. D. B. Baker and Mrs. F. A. Cunliffe took charge of the pottery and finds.

Roman Ways in the Weald, by Ivan D. Margary, M.A., F.S.A. with a Foreward by O. G. S. Crawford, F.S.A., published 1965 (3rd revised edition, 296 pp., London: Phoenix House) accessible at: & West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries

It is quite unnecessary to review at length a book which has long been established as a classic, essential to all who are interested in Roman Sussex. But we may congratulate the author, and ourselves, that a third impression has been issued. The more so as this enables Mr. Margary to make a few corrections, mostly confirmations of suggested routes, and to add an account of the road from Chichester to Silchester, unknown at the time of his earlier editions. The skill of the author's diagnoses and the lucidity of his descriptions are admirable. One would like to know how the Roman surveyors started their work; how they knew the exact positions of Silchester to the north-west and London to the north-east. For the first mile or so of the road from the north gate of Chichester is on the true alignment to Silchester, although this was abandoned after Lavant for a wide diversion to avoid unsuitable ground: similarly, Stane Street between Hardham and the border of Surrey is aligned on London Bridge, though the actual course of the Street diverges slightly from the true alignment at either end of this section.

During the fourth season of excavation at Fishbourne work was spread over an area of about ten acres, most of it being concentrated on three main sites: the west wing of the main building, the eastern half of the north wing, and the southern half of the east wing. In addition, exploratory trenches were dug through the area to the north of the north wing and several trial excavations were made in gardens to the south of the modern main road. Previously, in December 1963 and January 1964, limited excavations had been undertaken in the garden of no. 65 Fishbourne Road, in the area of the greenhouses to the west of the main site, and in other gardens further west.

The excavations of 1965 were largely concerned with the examination of the field containing the east and west wings of the palace and the Great Court which lies between them. As last year's work had almost completed the outline plan of the palace, the 1965 season was concentrated upon the detailed examination of the audience chamber and the entrance hall, the sample excavation of the garden about which practically nothing was known, and the area excavation of those parts of the timber and early masonry buildings belonging to the first-period settlement which had not previously been examined. In addition to this, trial trenches were cut through the newly acquired market-garden to the west of the main site, and further trenching was carried out in the fields to the north of the north wing and the field to the south of the modern main road. The final excavation of the north wing of the palace has been postponed until next season, after the construction of the modern cover-building has been completed.

The excavations conducted in the summer of 1966 were concentrated upon two projects: the final excavation of the previously unexamined parts of the North Wing, and of the early structures lying beneath it, and the large-scale stripping of selected areas of the garden belonging to the Roman palace. The modern cover-building, which is being erected by the Sussex Archaeological Trust over the remains of the Roman North Wing and which was begun in July 1965, had reached a state of near-completion by September 1966. The excavation work beneath was therefore carried out with the benefit of a roof above it, but with minor inconveniences incurred by being surrounded by builders and subcontractors. Earlier in the year some trial trenching had been carried out in the modern gardens of houses which now occupy the site of the Period I bath building. This work, though limited, has added considerably to the outline plan hitherto available.

The last major season in the present series of excavations at Fishbourne took place between 29th July and 2nd September, with a labour force restricted to sixty volunteers a day. This year the main effort was concentrated upon the excavation of the garden belonging to the Flavian Palace: a substantial area was examined during the main period of work, but it was not until the early spring that the final stages were completed by a small team of volunteers working in conjunction with a mechanical excavator. Several other areas were examined during the summer. By great good fortune a small site became available for study on the south side of the modern main road, providing for the first time clear evidence that the Palace possessed a South Wing. On the main site, the east front of the aisled hall was excavated together with the early levels beneath it, and further work was undertaken on the west front of the entrance hall. Finally, some time was spent finishing details of the excavation of the area lying north of the West Wing and west of the North Wing-a site which in the previous spring had been almost totally excavated, prior to the building of the site Museum and concourse.

Since a first visit was paid two years ago, much of the limited time spent at Beauport Park has been used in surveying and mapping the whole considerable area of the site. The only visible sign of any working was the remains of the slag heap. Though much of this was removed in the 1870s for roadmaking, the heap is still so big (about 130 yards long) that much of it remains to be excavated. Test trenches have helped to define the whole area, the nearest mine pit, and (with the help of divining rods) the track running to it.

South-East England, by Ronald Jessup, F.S.A., published 1970 (Thomas & Hudson) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries

This is a very useful and readable account of the early inhabitants of South-East England down to the end of the Roman period. It is especially strong in the detail of the pre-Roman people as exemplified by their habitation sites that have been examined, notably but not entirely on the South Downs. Indeed a more accurately descriptive title would be "The Early Peoples of South-east England."
The book opens with a good summary of the topography and follows this with six chapters (135 pages) on the prehistoric phases, closing with a 40-page chapter on the Roman period. All these are well illustrated with 59 excellently clear line drawings and plans, mostly placed exactly where the reader needs them (so rare nowadays). There are also many good plates, 75 in all, grouped together at the end and followed by the relevant captions and notes which involves some page turning but is reasonably convenient. Lists of sites to visit, museums in the region, and a bibliography for each chapter complete the book.

Stock Raising and the Origins of the Hill Fort on the South Downs, by Richard Bradley, published March 1971 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 51 issue 1, article, pp.8-29)   View Online

The first part of this paper is a discussion of the basic pattern of land use on the South Downs from the Middle Bronze Age to the early Pre-Roman Iron Age. In the second part, the impact upon this pattern of a group of Bronze and Iron Age stock enclosures is considered, and it is argued that these developed directly into a number of small hill forts. A contemporary group of larger, early Iron Age, hill forts is also defined, and it appears that these too grew up upon an economic basis of stock raising. The social and cultural implications of these developments are discussed, and tentative contrasts are drawn with the nature of later hill forts in the region.

Fishbourne: A Roman Palace and Its Garden, by Barry Cunliffe, published 1 May 1971 (Thames and Hudson, ISBN-10: 050039007X & ISBN-13: 9780500390078) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15826] & West Sussex Libraries

The discovery in the early 1960s of the site of a Roman palace and its garden at Fishbourne, near Chichester, was by far the most important and exciting achievement of Romano-British archaeology for very many years. Lasting for a decade, the excavation was supervised by one of the most brilliant younger British archaeologists, and involved the efforts of over a thousand people. As work proceeded, it became clear that the site was indeed that of a palace, the great size, the many mosaic floors and the luxurious appointments all indicating this. Excavation showed that the palace possessed a military function and must have been connected with the Roman invasion of AD43 and its aftermath. The high-ranking occupant was probably Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus, a British client-king who had been granted Roman citizenship under Claudius. Quite as remarkable as the palace itself is the large formal garden around which it was built: no comparable Roman garden has been discovered west of Italy itself. Fishbourne is now open to the public and this invaluable book provides a complete history of the palace, from its military origins up to its final destruction by fire. The text is fully supported by photographs of all stages of the dig, of the mosaics and other finds, and with many plans.

Fishbourne is a village situated about one mile west of Chichester, of which it now forms an outer suburb, for it lies within the city boundary. The main trunk road to Portsmouth passes through it, with detached houses, mostly of Victorian style, on each side, while behind them on the north lay some 14 acres of farm land extending to the Coast Line main railway. Early in 1960 a trunk water-main was carried through these fields by mechanical excavation. Since 1805 Roman material has been known to exist here, and with the assistance of the engineers engaged in the work local archaeologists kept watch. The results were soon dramatic, for huge blocks of masonry were dislodged, together with tesserae, while the pottery found included some of Claudian date. Clearly a proper excavation was necessary, and arrangements for this were made.

Late Romans and Saxons in Sussex, by M.G. Welch, published November 1971 in Britannia (vol. 2, article, pp.232-237)   View Online

The problem of what happened in Britain in the fifth century A.D. has long fascinated historians, and archaeology is now helping to supplement the meagre written source-material. The county of Sussex is a very useful area to investigate thus, for it contains archaeological evidence which points to a Saxon settlement geographically isolated in the pagan period from the settlements in Kent, Surrey, and Hampshire, and it formed a known independent kingdom.

In September 1966 1 first began my search for the remains of the Roman ironworks at Beauport Park. After some five years of persistent and intensive jungle warfare, I at last found what some readers will have now seen, and it may be of interest to give here some history of the references to the site before I began to tackle it.

Part of Gerald Brodribb's "other story" can in fact now be told. I joined him in 1971 as joint director of the excavation, and we carried out an intensive dig on the bath-house that had come to light at the end of the previous year for three weeks in August/September. A number of members of the Group took part in the dig, notably Dennis Hemsley and Alan Scott.

Various forms of spectroscopic analysis are used for the study of human artifacts. Three methods are compared in this note on a large Roman cremation.
The 'Marquis of Granby' Inn (TQ 1612 0521) stands at the foot of the southern slope of the South Downs, in the village of Sompting, to the east of Worthing, in Sussex (FIG. I ). The local soil consists of some 3 ft. of brown earth on chalk. In the course of recent extensions to the inn part of the slope immediately to the north was levelled. A broken urn and 11 associated vessels lay on the buried chalk surface, beneath the extensions, together with a coin of Geta.

The Roman iron industry of the Weald and its connexions with the Classis Britannica, by Henry Cleere, published 1975 in The Archaeological Journal (vol. 131, article, pp.171-199)   View Online

Although iron working had begun on the Weald margins before the Roman invasion, 36 sites of known RB date can be listed in the High Weald and near the coast. The western group of sites was possibly in the hands of civilians trading to London overland; the eastern group relied primarily on river and sea communications. The Classis Britannica was controlling these eastern sites and the estuarine port at Bodiam between mid-2nd and mid-3rd century. Decline of the Wealden industry was partly due to over-exploitation of resources, but pirate raids may have forced closure (and perhaps removal to the Forest of Dean) in mid-3rd century.

Some Observations on the Economy of the Roman Villa at Bignor, Sussex, by S. Applebaum, published November 1975 in Britannia (vol. 6, article, pp.118-132)   View Online

The following examination of the agricultural aspects of Bignor Roman villa was written in 1950, and is here reproduced with a few additions, and with corrections necessitated by the results of Professor S. S. Frere's excavations at the villa in the years 1957-1962.
It is very likely that Lysons, who excavated the villa in the eighteenth century, did not find, or did not record, earlier farm-buildings which may well have preceded those to be seen on his plan. Nor may he have noticed various details or subdivisions of the latter. Nevertheless it seemed worthwhile attempting their analysis in order to resuscitate the general lines of the agriculture practised at Bignor in the fourth century; and while further excavation of the farmyard, if it takes place, will doubtless produce corrections and new facts, the attempt will have been justified if it suggests new considerations and methods. Some of the conclusions of the present study were included in much abbreviated form in the writer's contribution on Roman Britain to The Agrarian History of England, Vol. I, part ii, published in 1972.

The Iron-Age hill-fort and Romano-British iron-working settlement at Garden Hill, Sussex: interim report on excavations, 1968-76, by J. H. Money, M. G. Fulford and C. Eade, published November 1977 in Britannia (vol. 8, article, pp.339-350)   View Online

The earthwork at Garden Hill, Hartfield, East Sussex, until then unrecognised, was identified in 1968 by Mr C. F. Tebbutt, who found early Romano-British material in a trial excavation. Five seasons of excavation (1972-76) by the Garden Hill Excavation Group have established the broad outline of the site's history. A scatter of worked flints indicates slight occupation in the Neolithic/Bronze Age period. Attributed to the late pre-Roman Iron Age are a round house and part of what may be another. A hill-fort, with stonerevetted and palisaded defences, was built, possibly against the Roman invasion, but soon fell into disuse and was followed by Romano-British occupation. This included a rectangular timber building, roasting- and smeltingfurnaces and a forging-hearth of the first century; a rectangular building with two verandahs, using timber uprights set on padstones and in post-holes, and a four-post structure on the same alignment, both probably first-century; a timber building set on a stone platform and attached stone bath-building, of the second century; and undated post-hole and timber-slot systems (not fully excavated) representing fences and other timber structures. It is possible that Garden Hill was the base from which local iron-smelting sites were operated in the first and second centuries.

Garden Hill, part of an area known as 'The Park', is a NE-pointing spur of high ground 1½ miles (2.4km.) east of Wych Cross and 3½ miles (5.6km.) SW of Hartfield (in which parish of East Sussex it lies), between 500 and 550 feet above sea level. The nearest towns are Tunbridge Wells, 10 miles (16km.) north-east, and East Grinstead, 5 miles (8km.) north-west. The ground falls away fairly steeply on the north, south and east sides of the hill, but there is a level approach from the west. The subsoil is Ashdown Sand. The top of the hill is mainly flat, growing luxuriant bracken, with a sprinkling of trees, chiefly sweet chestnut and birch, but including a few very old yews.
Garden Hill lies near a minor Roman road (Margary 148), which in turn connects with the main London-Lewes road (Margary 14) at Gallypot Street. If, as is likely, a road linked the Romano-British settlement to Route 148, it would probably have been on the NW side, where the intervening ground is flat.
It is clear from the archaeological excavation that sometime in the past the hill-top was lightly ploughed and, as part of The Park, it may have been under grass. At present, Garden Hill lies within the Army Training Area of Pippingford Park and is owned by the Ministry of Defence.
In 1968 our Chairman, Mr C.F. Tebbutt, discovered the earthwork, which encloses an oblong area of about 6.8 acres (2.7 hectares) on the hill and has been proved to be a late Iron Age hill-fort with a typical inturned entrance at the NE corner there is possibly another entrance at the NW corner.
After promising trial excavations in the SE corner by Mr Tebbutt, in which first-century AD Romano-British material was found, the earthwork and the area which it enclosed were scheduled as an Ancient Monument by the then Ministry of Public Buildings and Works, fenced off from the rest of the Training Area and placed out of bounds to troops. The earthwork was surveyed and a plan drawn by Mr E.W. Holden.
In 1972, a small group, directed by Mr J.H. Money and Mr Tebbutt, investigated an area where buried structures were evident and excavated what turned out to be a small but complete 2nd-century AD Romano-British bath-building.
Following these encouraging results the Garden Hill Excavation Group was formed with the support of the Sussex Archaeological Society, and excavation on a much larger scale has taken place annually since 1973. These excavations have produced evidence of Neolithic/Bronze Age/Early pre-Roman Iron Age occupation of the hill-top and uncovered remains of the late pre-Roman Iron Age and a Romano-British iron-working settlement of the first, second and early third centuries AD.

At the end of a recent die-study of the gold coins of Cunobelin, it was suggested that there might be something to learn from a comparable die-study of the gold coinage of Cunobelin's contemporary, Verica. The index of pre-Roman coins kept by the Institute of Archaeology in Oxford now makes such a task feasible without excessive labour. Thanks are again due to Mr Robert Wilkins of the Institute, for arranging and executing the tedious photography involved.

A Survey of Tile from the Roman Bath House at Beauport Park, Battle, E. Sussex, by Gerald Brodribb, published November 1979 in Britannia (vol. 10, article, pp.139-156)   View Online

One of the reasons for the Roman invasion of Britain was the hope of exploiting the natural resources of the country. It was not long before there was considerable iron-working in the Weald, especially in the area round Battle, East Sussex. Iron slag is to be seen at several sites, but little excavation of these has taken place. The best evidence for iron-working comes from Beauport Park, where a vast slag heap was discovered in 1862: much of this was removed during the 1870s for road-making, and there was no excavation of the site until the writer began work in 1967, and after three years' search found a building that proved to be a bath-house.

One of the best-known inscriptions from Roman Britain was found in 1723 at Chichester. It is a dedication on a slab of Purbeck marble of which the left-hand portion is lost, and the remainder was broken into four pieces during recovery. These are now bound by concrete and built into the wall of the portico at the west face of the Council House in North Street at Chichester (PL. IX). There the inscription is protected by a sheet of plate glass.

The villa at Bignor, West Sussex (SU 987147), is one of the largest and best-known in the province of Britain. First discovered in 1811 during ploughing, it was excavated by Samuel Lysons in annual campaigns until 1818. The plans and mosaics received sumptuous publication; but because of potential expense imposed by the recent Copyright Act which required deposition in various Libraries of 11 copies of any work containing letterpress, no accompanying text was printed. Instead, two papers were published in Archaeologia. These are somewhat summary in description and they contain measurements which are inconsistent both mutually and when compared with the plans. Recent work has added to the plan several walls which Lysons did not find, and has also shown that the well-known plan itself is inaccurate in showing the north and south sides of the courtyard as parallel (FIG. I). In fact they diverge. After cover-buildings had been erected over the principal mosaics and the rest reburied, matters rested for over a century. In 1925 S. E. Winbolt re-excavated and repaired the cold bath (in Room 55), which had been left open without a cover-building; and in 1929 the Venus mosaic (Room 3), whose condition had been deteriorating, was professionally relaid.

Lower's account of the discovery of Oldlands by the Rev. Edward Turner is well known. What is probably not so well known is the story of how the Vicar of Maresfield came to hear of the slag heaps at Oldlands. This story appears in Miss Bell-Irving's Mayfield in an extract of a letter to her of 16th February 1895 from Dr. Prince of Crowborough.

A Romano-British Ironworking Site at Crawley Down, Worth, Sussex, by J. S. Hodgkinson, published 1985 in Wealden Iron Research Group (Second Series No. 5, article, pp.9-20, ISSN: 0266-4402) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 16400] & The Keep [LIB/506559]   Download PDF

The site was discovered in 1980 during an investigation of the land along the Felbridge Water, upstream from the site of Warren Furnace, in an area known in the Middle Ages as Smythford and later as Smithfield. Evidence of ironworking was noted at three locations: (A) TQ 3586 3898, (B) TQ 3584 3899 and (C) TQ 3602 3905, and, the excavation of the first two is the subject of this report. It should be noted that some 150m to the east there is a moated site, adjacent to a field once known as Bottle Field or Botley's. Here there is some surface evidence of habitation in the form of house platforms and hollow-ways, and the Roman road from London to Brighton (Margary 150) passes through the field to cross the stream near the moat.
The sites are in young woodland, on the gently sloping side of a small valley, just above a steep drop of 2-3m down to the stream. The geology of the area is Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand. On the north side of the valley a band of clay outcrops, and it has been suggested that this may have been the source of ore, as the same band outcrops beside the later Warren Furnace downstream, and may have been an ore source for that site.
The site has been given the name Smythford.

Excavations at Copse Farm Oving, West Sussex, by Owen Bedwin, Robin Holgate and others, published December 1985 in The Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society (vol. 51, article, pp.215-245)   View Online

Two farmsteads, one of late Iron Age (second-first centuries BC) date and the other dating to the early Romano-British period (first-second centuries AD), were excavated at Copse Farm, Oving. The site is situated within the Chichester dykes on the Sussex/Hampshire Coastal Plain. The Iron Age farmstead produced pottery spanning 'saucepan' and 'Aylesford-Swarling' traditions, a transition in ceramic production which is poorly understood in Sussex. Information on the agricultural economy and small-scale industries (principally metalworking) practised at this site give an insight into the way the Coastal Plain was settled and exploited at the end of the first millennium BC.

During the winter of 1981/2 Giles Swift of the Wealden Iron Research Group discovered in a ploughed field on Great Cansiron Farm, Hartfield, East Sussex (TQ 45603835) an area of burnt clay and Roman tile, together with a few pieces of Roman pottery. The site, which lies close to a small stream, is located between an extensive Roman iron-working site to the south-west and possible large Roman iron-ore quarries to the north-east (FIG. 1). In advance of further plough damage, during the summer of 1982 the Field Archaeology Unit (Institute of Archaeology) undertook a trial excavation and survey in order to attempt to interpret and date the site more precisely. This work was funded by the Department of the Environment and East Sussex County Council. The 1982 investigations revealed a well-preserved Roman tile kiln and a rectangular floor of tile and burnt clay. Unfortunately extremely inclement weather during the second half of the excavation meant that it was impossible, given the time and resources available, to finish excavating either of these discoveries. The farmer, Mr Udell, kindly agreed to leave and plough around the excavation area and a second season of excavations was undertaken in 1983 thanks to the financial backing of East Sussex County Council and Keymer Handmade Clay Tiles of Burgess Hill, Sussex. In between the two excavations, staff of the Ancient Monuments Laboratory carried out a geophysical survey of the area to the west of the tile kiln.

Iron Age and Roman Quern Production at Lodsworth, West Sussex, by D. P. S. Peacock, published March 1987 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 67 issue 1, article, pp.61-85)   View Online

This paper describes the discovery, by geological and archaeological fieldwork, of a major Iron Age and Roman quern quarry which was supplying much of south-east and south-midland England. The debitage from the site is described and the chronological development of querns from the quarry assessed in the light of material found on habitation sites. It is argued that production reached a peak the first century A.D. The broad distribution of Lodsworth products during the Iron Age, and to a lesser extent during the Roman period, is discussed.

In 1849 Mark Anthony Lower published a pioneer paper on the ironworks of East Sussex, but this contained no mention of any ironworking at Beauport Park, near Battle. Ten years later, however, the Rev. S. Arnott, rector of the nearby parish of Hollington, wrote that, although there were no remains of early ironmaking in his parish, 'there is a large cinder-bank in Beauport Park on which grow firs with oak and ash, all planted by the owner, Sir Charles Lamb'.

The excavation of the Roman complex at Fishbourne near Chichester in southern England began in 1961. The excavation lasted for 8 seasons, and the results were published in 1971 (Cunliffe 1971). The coincidence of these dates appealed to the aniversary-conscious editor of this Jpornal, who suggested to the writer that 1991 would be an appropriate occasion to stand back to consider Fishbourne in the light of our greatly enhanced knowledge of the formative years of the province of Britannia.

That study described the topographical setting of these sites and the character and chronology of the surface finds. It also included some discussion of the economic context of salt-making and its place in the settlement pattern.

Romano-British iron production in the Sussex and Kent Weald: a review of current data, by Jeremy Hodgkinson, published 1999 (academia.edu)   Download PDF

A succession of studies over the past sixty years has shown that iron making was well-developed in the Weald in the Romano-British period. Distribution maps showing the extent of the industry in the region have not, hitherto, attempted to indicate a measure of output for individual sites. This revision of data provides such an opportunity.

A watching brief and subsequent excavation by the Field Archaeology Unit, University College London, in advance of development of land to the west of Burgess Hill revealed a number of Romano-British features. Evidence of Mesolithic and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age activity was established through the surface collection of a small assemblage of worked flint. A single blade/burin of Upper Palaeolithic date was also located. Romano-British features, which were predominantly of late 4th-century date included a ditch with a large pottery assemblage and a probable corn-drying oven.

The Roman villa at Angmering was one of the first of the elaborate early Roman villas of Sussex to be excavated. The bathhouse has always been seen as a structure with a single main phase, and the arrangement of the rest of the villa complex is far from clear. This article re-examines the bathhouse and proposes a new interpretation of its structural sequence based around four principal phases of activity. The rest of the villa complex is briefly examined in relation to the bathhouse.

Sexing of Romano-British baby burials from the Beddingham and Bignor Villas, by Tony Waldron, G.

A simple method is described for measuring the depth of the sciatic notch in foetal ilia. In the pilot study presented, both morphological and molecular analyses were undertaken separately to determine the sexes of six Romano-British infant burials from the Roman villa at Beddingham, East Sussex and one from the villa at Bignor, West Sussex. We have attempted to establish a discriminant criterion by relating morphological findings to the sex as determined by amelogenin PCR. Simple geometrical analysis of the sciatic notch indicated that of the six infant burials at Beddingham, three were female and three were male. Using the same criteria, the sex of the Bignor baby was determined as female. Amelogenin PCR was in agreement in four cases from Beddingham (three males and one female), but owing to poor quality of DNA, comparison was excluded in two remaining burials judged as female on morphological criteria. Similarly, owing to poor DNA preservation, PCR was negative with bone extracts prepared from the Bignor baby. If the burials at Beddingham were the result of infanticide, its victims were not exclusively female.

The course of the London to Brighton Roman road south of Burgess Hill, by Glen Shields, published 1999 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 137, article, pp.81-90) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 14439] & The Keep [LIB/500291] & S.A.S. library   View Online

A new course for the London to Brighton Roman road in the Hassocks area and through the Clayton Gap is proposed and described. The existence of an unsuspected Roman road passing northward from the Hassocks area towards the ancient iron-working sites at Crawley is suggested, which has implications for a possible Iron Age road in the region, and for the Roman settlement at Ham Farm in Hassocks. The Clayton Gap findings clarify the changes that were made to the London to Brighton stage-coach road there between 1770 and 1818. Some discussion is given of the possible further course of the Roman road from the Clayton Gap to the coast.

Building 'Anderita' Late Roman Coastal Defences and the Construction of the Saxon Shore Fort at Pevensey, by A. F. Pearson, published February 1999 in Oxford Journal of Archaeology (vol. 18, issue 1, article, pp.95-117)   View Online

The construction of the Roman coastal installation at Pevensey (East Sussex) in the late third century represented a building project of considerable importance, size and complexity. A study of the surviving material has identified the lithologies employed in the fort's construction, the approximate quantities in which they were present and the likely areas from which they were quarried. Local sources were exploited wherever possible, although an insufficient supply of brick seems to have forced the builders to look further afield for a substitute material for use in the bonding courses. The location of the quarries suggests that the majority of raw materials were moved by boat, and that the transport fleet required was remarkably small. Estimates of the length of construction for the later series of Shore Forts range from less than three years to over four decades. The labour and transport requirements have been calculated for Pevensey, allowing a discussion of the feasibility of each of these proposed time scales. It is argued that all were achievable, although in the briefer scenarios the army would have been unable to provide sufficient manpower, necessitating a draft of civilian labourers.

New evidence for the origins, development and Internal morphology of the Roman roadside settlement at Alfoldean, by Mike Luke and Jackie Wells, published 2000 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 138, article, pp.75-102) accessible at: W.S.R.O.

Fieldwork undertaken over the past two decades has provided new insights into the Roman roadside settlement at Alfoldean. The results are significant for the interpretation not only of Alfoldean but also of similar sites within Sussex and lowland Britain as a whole. Intermittent investigation by Luke and others has included earthwork survey, field artefact collection, aerial photograph analysis and the salvage recording of a roadside trench dug through the site. Prior to this, work had focused on the mansion enclosure immediately south of the River Arun. The new evidence demonstrates that this is only a small part of a much larger settlement that originated in 1st century AD, possibly as one of a chain of deliberately planned settlements on the Chichester to London road (Stane Street). At its greatest extent it covered an area of over nine hectares

Measurement and metaphor: the design and meaning of Building 3 at Fishbourne Roman Palace, by John Manley, published 2000 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 138, article, pp.103-114) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 14509] & The Keep [LIB/500298] & S.A.S. library   View Online

The line of thought presented in this article was prompted by a practical exercise, organized by the author, at Fishbourne Roman Palace in the summer of 1999. The main aim of that work was to elucidate how the surveyors and architects of nearly two thousand years ago had laid out the ground-plan of a Roman building (which we call 'Building 3'), uncovered between 1995 and 1999. That functional aim was achieved relatively quickly and easily. However, in reading more widely on the subject of Roman architectural practice, it became evident to me that there were other layers of meaning, apart from the geometry of ground-plans and specifics of Roman units of measurement. Considering the writings of Vitruvius prompted ideas about how the builders and users of Building 3 might have employed symmetry, experienced harmony, and read different metaphors into that particular masonry building. Indeed, the very units of measurement could have been drawn from the metaphor of the human body. These concepts are presented in this article. These ideas are stimulating, and even provocative; they suggest new and different ways of looking at a whole range of Roman buildings and this article reveals a potential for further enquiry, in the hope that in due course someone will realize that potential.

An early Roman pottery production site at Horticultural Research International, Littlehampton, by Julie Lovell, published 2002 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 140, article, pp.21-40) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15109] & The Keep [LIB/500299] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Investigation of an early Romano-British settlement at Worthing Road, Littlehampton revealed an enclosed working area, probably with beginnings in the Late Iron Age. Pottery was produced on the site for about 100 years between c. AD 43 and AD 150 using simple updraught kilns producing pottery comparable with that produced at Hardham and Wiggonholt and to vessels from Fishbourne and Chichester. Environmental evidence suggests that spelt wheat was processed in the vicinity of the site and the waste from this processing was used as kindling to fire the kilns.

Recent recognition of a building stone, now named Lavant stone, has led to investigations of the quarry site, its history and the use of the stone. Lavant stone is a distinctive phosphatic chalk with fossils, particularly sharks' teeth. It was used in the later Roman period and extensive medieval use ranged from Chichester Cathedral and Boxgrove Priory to parish churches. The historical use of Lavant stone is considered, and the social and economic influences upon its distribution pattern and opportunities for further research are discussed.

The Roman roads of the Portslade/Aldrington area in relation to a possible Roman port at Copperas Gap, by Glen Shields, published 2005 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 143, article, pp.135-149) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15610] & The Keep [LIB/500361] & S.A.S. library   View Online

From a re-examination of the possible courses of the London to Brighton Roman road through the South Downs it is concluded that it passed to Copperas Gap, on the Portslade/Aldrington coast. Other proposed Roman roads of the Portslade/Aldrington area are also found to have probably ended there. The existence of a Roman port at Copperas Gap is therefore suggested, and some evidence in support of this is presented, from the pattern of Roman remains about the Gap, and the apparent significance of the locality in Saxon times. The region's Roman roads generally are discussed in the light of the port's existence. The question of whether the area might be important for the Saxon conquest of Sussex is raised. Copperas Gap was also found to be the probable site of the recent lost maritime centre of West Aldrington, and a brief account of this is given, including the observation that it could be the place from which Charles II sailed in his escape to France in 1651.

Rescue excavations by Archaeology South-East (University College London Field Archaeology Unit) revealed evidence of parts of a Romano-British and medieval ditched field system, medieval smithing slag and traces of a possible building made of flint with a tiled roof. Roman activity falls within a broad date range between the mid- 1st and 4th centuries AD. Medieval pottery suggests a focus of activity in the late 13th-14th centuries, although some continuation into the early 15th century is also indicated. The presence of worked and burnt flint at the site, in addition to a solitary Middle to Late Bronze Age feature, suggests prehistoric activity in the vicinity. A single, poorly preserved Anglo-Saxon grave, carbon dated to cal. AD 680-890, with an east-west orientation, was also located.

This is the final report documenting the results of the recent excavations by the Sussex Archaeological Society in front of the Roman Palace at Fishbourne, near Chichester. This report deals with Area C, excavated in 2002. One of the principal discoveries, the pre-AD 43 ditch, has been reported elsewhere (Manley & Rudkin 2005b). This report concentrates on the post-AD 43 features and finds, of which the structural highlights are the partial remains of two further buildings, one constructed in timber, the other with flint foundations. These two buildings, together with the two revealed previously, suggest that in this area there was a complicated series of developments pre- and post-Palace. There is an extensive digital archive to this report on the Archaeology Data Service website.

Prehistoric and medieval environment of Old Town, Eastbourne: studies of hillwash in the Bourne Valley, Star Brewery Site, by Michael J.

The prehistoric (Iron Age), Roman and medieval environment of the Bourne valley was examined via the study of dry-valley sediments, comprising a prehistoric lynchet overlooking the 'floodplain', and sediments on the Bourne 'floodplain' in Old Town. This research discovered an Iron Age site at the face of the lynchet, and investigated the area of the valley floor and the former Bourne Stream. Analytical investigations of magnetic susceptibility and archaeomagnetic dating were applied as novel techniques to examine their applicability to colluvial sediments and utilise any results they yielded. This research has provided a rare glimpse into the environment and land use of early Eastbourne and complements that from the downs and the results of the Eastbourne Urban Medieval Excavation Project (directed by Lawrence Stevens), under whose auspices this excavation was undertaken. This report, though long in gestation and fruition, is dedicated to Lawrence Stevens whose concept this excavation was, and who has, for so long, tirelessly championed the archaeology of Eastbourne.

Romano-British and medieval occupation at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, West Sussex, by David Godden, published 2008 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 146, article, pp.75-94) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 15997] & The Keep [LIB/500364] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Excavation in a little-investigated part of Chichester's historic core revealed Romano-British and medieval features. There was no evidence to support the existence of a Romano-British forerunner of the road now known as North Pallant; indeed, only a north-south aligned ditch and the remains of two wells were identified suggesting relatively sparse activity in an area away from any street frontage. The principal phase of occupation dates from the second half of the first century AD, although quantities of later material (mostly residual) hint at occupation on or near the site. Near the western edge of the site, late-Saxon - early medieval pits (tenth-twelfth century) indicate renewed activity, perhaps to the rear of properties fronting a road then recently laid out. Later medieval cesspits and refuse pits occurred over the rest of the site, with indications of a gradual westwards shift in focus towards East Pallant. Associated food and artefactual remains are typical of urban medieval assemblages: the one notable find was an ornate thirteenth-century ceramic roof finial. Otherwise there was little to relate to the presumed high status of the only structure from the site, a fourteenth- to early-fifteenth-century vaulted undercroft, part of a building fronting onto North Pallant.

Last year was the seventh and final season of large scale excavations on the site of the Romano-British villa complex in Dunstalls Field, Barcombe, near Lewes, East Sussex. Following preliminary survey and trial excavations by the Mid Sussex Field Archaeological Team (MSFAT) in 1999 and 2000 (SP&P 93 p7), the main phase of villa investigations began in 2001 as a joint venture of research and training excavations by MSFAT and the UCL Field Archaeology Unit. In 2005 UCL ended its involvement with the project and was replaced by the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) of the University of Sussex. (Annual reports on the first six seasons of excavations at Barcombe may be found in SP&P95, p6-7; 98, p10-11; 102, p4-5; 105, p6-7; 108, 12-13 and 111, 12-13).

Roman Britain was a multi-cultural mix of Celtic natives of different tribes and religions, of Romans with their own pantheon of deities, and of the soldiers and traders who brought their own practices and beliefs from all parts of Europe and North Africa and the East. This volume explores the way in which they practiced their religions in the relatively peaceful and prosperous areas of south eastern Britain, in towns and in the countryside, at temples and shrines, in cemeteries, and in their houses. The book provides an up-to-date review of the evidence; it is written in a style that will appeal to both the general reader and the specialist. It is extensively illustrated with photos in colour and black and white, and with drawings and maps.

In 2006, I undertook a research project, the final module towards an undergraduate Diploma in Archaeology at the University of Sussex. My subject was the origins of Meeching, the medieval settlement that became Newhaven. Rescue excavations by Martin Bell, precipitated by the construction of a ring road around Newhaven town centre in the 1970s, revealed a second century AD Romano-British settlement as well as features filled with loess containing flint flakes dating to the Palaeolithic. These excavations were sited to the south of the town, between South Road and the River Ouse. Finds dating to the Bronze Age and Iron Age are documented at Castle Hill.

Oxford Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological work on land west of Mackie Avenue, Hassocks, West Sussex. Archaeological remains consisting of ditches, pits and postholes indicative of a number of phases of activity dating to the Bronze Age and Roman periods were revealed during these excavations. Excavated features include the remains of three post-built roundhouses of Bronze Age date, which were associated with a series of pits and possible field boundaries. A Roman rectangular structure was uncovered and this was associated with a field system. A ring-gully enclosing a number of pits, interpreted as a structure, was also excavated.

Evaluation and excavation on the line of Stane Street at Westhampnett, near Chichester, West Sussex revealed significant remains relating to the Roman road, including part of the agger, a flanking ditch, both zonal ditches and the rutted surface of a metalled 'carriageway'. Roman Stane Street at this location was c. 25 m wide in total, with c. 7 m between zonal ditch and flanking ditch (all measurements taken from the centres of the ditches). While the flanking ditch produced mid first-century AD pottery, a small quantity of Early Saxon pottery, together with fourth-century Roman pottery, was recovered from the surface of the rutted southern 'carriageway'. A brick kiln of probable mid sixteenth- to seventeenth-century date was revealed during the evaluation and preserved in situ. A small number of prehistoric features were also identified, including four possible Bronze Age pits, a Middle Iron Age ditch and a Late Iron Age/Early Roman pit.

As briefly reported in the last issue, a 3-D scan of a damaged statue head at Fishbourne Roman Palace has revealed that it is probably a rare depiction of Roman Emperor Nero as a youngster. Curator of the Collections Discovery Centre at Fishbourne Dr Rob Symmons, in collaboration with Dr Miles Russell and Harry Manley of Bournemouth University, ran scans on the head in order to recreate the damaged parts of the face. Rob Symmons said: "First impressions indicated that this was a portrait of Nero as a boy, which was very exciting as that would make it one of only three of its kind in the world. Previously, we had always assumed the boy was related to the royal family who lived here." Miles Russell added: "The scan gave us a more complete picture of the missing parts of the face, confirming our theory that it is a depiction of Nero. This suggests there may have been links between the Chichester area and one of the most famous Roman emperors of all time."

Animalscapes and empire : new perspectives on the Iron Age/Romano British transition , by Martyn George Allen, 2011 at University of Nottingham (Ph.D. thesis)   View Online

Human-animal relationships have long existed, across cultures, in many varied forms. The associations between the two are integral to the creation, form, use and perception of landscapes and environments. Despite this, animals are all too often absent from our views of ancient landscapes. Humans experience their diverse environments through a variety of media, and animals regularly play an important role in this type of exchange. Landscape archaeology commonly emphasises the influences of humanity upon the physical world. However, such engagement is rarely unilateral. Whether herding domesticated mammals, hunting quarry, or merely experiencing the range of fauna which populate the world, many of these interactions leave physical traces in the landscape: the form and location of settlements, enclosures, pathways, woodland, pasture, and meadows. Also, in more subtle ways, human and animal actors work together in performances through which people subconsciously generate their perceptions of landscape and environment. These physical and psychological animal landscapes have the potential to inform on human society and ideology. This thesis seeks to utilise zoo archaeological evidence to examine this concept. Animalscape research could be applied to any place or period but as a case study this project will explore, through animal bone analysis, how landscape and environment were used to negotiate cultural identity during the Iron Age/Romano-British transition, a pivotal but poorly understood period in British history. Research focuses on a c.200 km2 area of land bordering the West Sussex coast. This is a complex and singular locale, encompassing a number of Iron Age and Romano-British sites - most notably the elite settlement at Fishbourne which originated in the late Iron Age and developed, towards the end of the 1st century AD, into the largest 'Roman-style' domestic building north of the Alps. The site has been excavated a number of times in different areas since its discovery in 1960 until 2002; the various investigations producing a large quantity of animal bone. Yet this has, until now however, only been subjected to piecemeal analysis. The full re-analysis of the Fishbourne faunal assemblage is central to this project. To place these new data in their wider context, existing animal bone information from all pertinent published and 'grey' zoo archaeological literature is synthesised. The resulting datasets allow for a detailed examination of animal landscapes across the Iron Age/Romano-British transition at three nested scales: site and context; hinterland/region; and, Empire. Integrating the zooarchaeological data with evidence from landscape and environment studies, Iron Age/Roman archaeology, ancient history and, most importantly, social anthropology is key to this project. A new theoretical framework is adopted here, whereby animals are seen not simply as passive indicators of economy and environment but as active beings, providing visual, audio and physical experience, and it is through these novel approaches by considering the human-animal-landscape relationship, that a new insight into the cultural changes of the Iron Age to Romano-British transition will be obtained.

New animals, new landscapes and new world views: the Iron Age to Roman transition at Fishbourne, by Martyn Allen and Naomi Sykes, published 2011 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 149, article, pp.7-24) accessible at: W.S.R.O.

Anthropologists and cultural geographers have long accepted that animals play an important role in the creation of human cultures. However, such beliefs are yet to be embraced by archaeologists, who seldom give zoo archaeological data much consideration beyond the occasional economic or environmental reconstruction. In an attempt to highlight animal remains as a source of cultural information, this paper examines the evidence for the changing relationship between people and wild animals in Iron Age and Roman southern England. Special attention is given to 'exotic' species - in particular fallow deer, domestic fowl and the hare - whose management increased around AD 43. In Iron Age Britain the concept of wild game reserves was seemingly absent, but the post-Conquest appearance of new landscape features such as vivaria, leporaria and piscinae indicates a change in worldview from a situation where people seemingly negotiated with the 'wilderness' and 'wild things' to one where people felt they had the right or the responsibility to bring them to order. Using Fishbourne Roman Palace as a case study, we argue that wild and exotic animals represented far more than gastronomic treats or symbols of Roman identity, instead influencing the way in which people engaged with, traversed and experienced their surroundings.

Dialogues in deposition: A reassessment of early Roman-period burials at St Pancras, Chichester, and other related sites, by Gordon Hayden, published 2011 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 149, article, pp.35-48) accessible at: W.S.R.O.

This article focuses on the social dynamics underpinning change and continuity during the Iron Age-Roman transition period in the area of Chichester and its immediate hinterland. Although the primary data is derived from a reassessment of selected burial groupings from the St Pancras cemetery, data from other sites has been used to put St Pancras into a wider context. Though it is generally accepted that the arrival of Roman power and the establishment of a post-Conquest client kingdom in this area influenced cultural change, the reassessed data suggests that external influences more probably merged with local traditions. As individual and social group identity is partly expressed through manipulating material culture, this article examines the social dynamics of those further down the social scale, by re-evaluating specific 1st-century AD indigenous pottery types and their significance as indicators of change and continuity. It places indigenous pottery in a wider context by examining the nature of sub-regional social preferences and the relationship between the Chichester area and the peripheral environment. The results suggest there was an initial degree of resistance to change amongst certain social groups, whilst others were in constant dialogue and renegotiation over what types of material culture could be perceived as culturally acceptable. This indicates the active role of the existing population in fashioning their own particular lifestyles.

Pevensey Castle, Sussex: Excavations in the Roman Fort and Medieval Keep, 1993-95 , by Michael Fulford and Stephen Rippon, published 15 March 2011 (xiii + 163 pp., Trust for Wessex Archaeology Ltd, ISBN-10: 1874350558 & ISBN-13: 9781874350552) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/508630] & British Library & East Sussex Libraries

A programme of excavations on and around the keep of Pevensey Castle established that the fort wall of the late Roman "Saxon Shore" fort was constructed AD 280-300, very possibly during the usurpation of Allectus. A deep sequence of "dark earth" built up against the inside of the Roman fort wall during the Roman and early medieval periods, before and after the establishment of William I's castle after 1066. A substantial stone keep and probably the gatehouse and inner bailey were constructed around 1200 and traces of a tower on the outside of the Roman fort wall were recorded. Substantial later repairs to the inside included the addition of a tower against the outer face of the (collapsing) Roman wall, the construction of a garderobe chamber and the re-building of the north-east tower, probably in the early 14th century. The base of the now ruinous keep was filled with clay after the 16th-17th centuries, probably to provide a foundation for cannon to defend the castle against possible Armada invasion in 1588.

Romano-British Hanging Lamp: Rare lamp unearthed at Culver Farm, Barcombe, by David H. Millum, M.A., published April 2011 in Sussex Past & Present (no. 123, article, p.6, ISSN: 1357-7417) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/500475] & S.A.S. library   View Online

The Culver Archaeological Project, under director Rob Wallace, has been investigating the wider archaeological landscape surrounding the Roman villa estate at Barcombe. After exposing a 40m section of unknown Roman road in Courthouse Field during 2009, they concentrated in 2010 on a 40 x 20m open area excavation in the adjacent Pond Field. This exposed an area of industrial pits and ditches to the south side of the road where a corroded iron artefact with a 100mm diameter bowl at the end of a dog-legged bar was uncovered. The item was fractured into three pieces and had a large headed rivet/bolt adjacent.

Roman Baths at Barcombe: Complex Roman bathing arrangements revealed, by Chris Butler and David Rudling, published April 2011 in Sussex Past & Present (no. 123, article, p.9, ISSN: 1357-7417) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/500475] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Since 2008 we have been investigating a large Roman bath house located in Church Field, which lies between the villa site and St Mary's Church, Barcombe. The excavations in 2008, 2009 and 2010 revealed a structure in excess of 20 m long and 6 m wide and orientated north-east to south-west.
At the northern end of the complex is a rectangular furnace room (praefurnium) with walls made of mortared flints. This room had a Y-shaped linear cut at floor level, which ran from the furnace through its south wall, and continued outside the building as a 'ditch' to the main drain running along the south side of the baths. This cut had been blocked at the furnace end and could be either an air vent or more likely a drain, perhaps indicating that this room was not fully roofed.

This report presents the results of recent excavation and a field-walking survey at Redfolds Farm and Beedings Castle, near Nutbourne, Pulborough. It also publishes for the first time material from this site retained by the late Con Ainsworth. Late Iron Age and early Roman finds of pottery, including imported Dressel 1 amphorae and 'Pulborough' samian, coins and ceramic building material, are reported and discussed. Through the fieldwork and archive reassessment undertaken as part of the Beedings survey, Beedings Hill can now be confirmed as a site with significant high-status Late Iron Age and Romano-British activity. Strong evidence has been identified for trading contacts with the continent in the form of wine amphorae, other ceramics and Late Iron Age coinage. Insights are gained into Iron Age decorated pottery groups and the local production of samian in the 2nd century ad. The significance of this evidence in understanding the distribution of political power in Late Iron Age West Sussex and its transformation under Roman rule are discussed.

Roman activity at the Chichester Festival Theatre site Oaklands Park, Chichester, by Alice Thorne, published 2012 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 150, article, pp.109-122) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18615] & The Keep [LIB/500368] & S.A.S. library   View Online

An archaeological excavation within the grounds of the Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester, West Sussex has revealed evidence of predominately late 2nd- to late 3rd-century activity some 300m north of the northern gate of the Roman walled city. Several Roman features, including a late 3rd-century cremation burial, were identified. An earlier excavation in the vicinity of the site located evidence of a possible timber-silled building also of Roman date.

During the 1980s, ploughing on former downland on the upper north face of Falmer Hill began to expose a substantial new enclosure site. This ditched enclosure survives only as a ploughed-down earthwork. When considered in conjunction with the known archaeology of the area, it becomes apparent that Falmer Hill is a much more significant area than at first appears. Topographically the hill is sited in a strategic location at the junction of north-south and east-west communication routes. Much of the archaeology revealed by aerial photography overlooks the main east-west dry valley.

The results of a magnetometer survey in 2011 at a farm in the Upper Ouse Valley near Barcombe Mills, by David Staveley on behalf of the Culver Archaeological Project, has revealed evidence of an unknown Romano-British settlement and ditched enclosure. The geophysical images have been supplemented by finds from metal detecting, including a long sequence of Roman coins. This paper includes the geophysical survey images and a summary of the artefact data accumulated to date. It also seeks to interpret what this initial evidence might suggest, given the site's location and comparisons with the excavated roadside settlement at Westhawk Farm in Kent.

A re-investigation of Late Iron Age and Roman iron production, and Saxon activity, at Rathlin Road, Crawley, by Jo Pine, published 2013 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 151, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18616] & The Keep [LIB/507730] & S.A.S. library   View Online

A small excavation was carried out in advance of redevelopment, to relocate precisely a previous excavation and to record any additional deposits. The original fieldwork carried out in the 1970s, known as Broadfield Site 2, revealed Iron Age and primarily Roman shaft smelting furnaces and ditches. The current project was able to relocate the remains of the previously excavated features. Although most of these had already been excavated in whole or in part, it was possible to obtain additional dating information, and to revise some of the earlier findings. A series of published radiocarbon dates is also reassessed and two new dates added. One unexpected result was the presence of a late Saxon ditch on the site.

Southwick Roman villa. Its discovery, excavation, public display and eventual loss - A Cautionary Tale., by David Rudling and G. Jeff Leigh, published 2013 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 151, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18616] & The Keep [LIB/507730] & S.A.S. library   View Online

This paper provides a history of the discovery, excavation, attempts at interpretation, public display, ownership, and eventual loss/general destruction of one of the most important archaeological sites to have been found in Sussex: a large early Roman villa (or 'mini-palace') at Southwick. It is ultimately a very sad story, beginning with various very poorly recorded excavations in the 19th century before eventual large-scale but still poorly documented excavations and then public display in the 1930s. Ultimately, in the 1950s, the lack of adequate financial resources resulted in the then owners and guardians of the villa, the Sussex Archaeological Trust, deciding to sell the site for building development. Also sad is the fact that most of the finds recovered from the various 19th- and 20th-century excavations are not kept in museums; instead, many finds were given away or not retained. We recount this sorry and cautionary tale, but also provide the results of recent research including the 'discovery' and now publication of two important 19th-century excavation plans.

In October 2012 the bathhouse excavations at Barcombe were filled in, thus ending five seasons of excavations in Church Field and a total of 14 years of fieldwork for the Barcombe Roman Villa Project. It also marked the end of practical field archaeology at the University of Sussex whose Centre for Continuing Education (most recently, until its demise: Community Engagement) CCE - had joined the Project as partners of the Mid Sussex Field Archaeological Team (MSFAT) in 2006. Over the years many intriguing features have been exposed at both the villa and bathhouse sites. This article reports upon some of the most interesting discoveries and outcomes of the final, very wet, fieldwork in 2012.

Gold Glass Tesserae said to be from the Roman Villa Site at Southwick, West Sussex, by Liz James, G. J. Leigh and Nadine Schibille, published September 2013 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 93, article, pp.93-107)   View Online

This paper seeks to characterise through elemental analysis some unusual gold glass tesserae said to have been found at a Roman villa site in Southwick, West Sussex. The site is no longer accessible, being underneath a Methodist chapel, but it has been excavated, to some extent, on several occasions. Glass tesserae are not common in a British setting but they are by no means unusual in Roman mosaics. Gold glass tesserae, however, in which gold leaf is sandwiched between two layers of glass, are very unusual: fewer than twenty such tesserae are known from Roman Britain and the seven examples from Southwick make up the largest single group. However, the provenance of these Southwick tesserae remains doubtful and so they were analysed and compared to gold glass tesserae from Roman London to try and establish whether they are compositionally related to typical Roman glass. For comparative reasons, the handful of coloured glass tesserae from Southwick were also analysed. Our results suggest that the tesserae said to be from Southwick are anomalous in relation to the other material and cannot be assigned to the Roman period.

A study of the Classis Britannica, Rome's British Channel Fleet, which existed for around 200 years, but which left very little evidence of its passing. This book concentrates on researching the evidence for the Fleet's forts and harbours in the English counties of Kent and Sussex, the only places where the Fleet's stamped tiles have been found.

Romano-British activity and medieval clay extraction at Osborne House, Chichester, West Sussex, by Julia Sulikowska, published 2014 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 152, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18617] & The Keep [LIB/508097] & S.A.S. library   View Online

Excavations on land at Osborne House, Chichester revealed evidence for activity dating from the early neolithic to the post-medieval period. Some residual early neolithic worked flint, as well as a few sherds of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery, were recovered from later features. A field boundary ditch provided evidence for Romano-British agricultural activity, and residual Romano-British finds, including pottery, ceramic building material and copper alloy objects, were retrieved from later features. The main focus of activity is related to the clay quarrying of late 12th, 13th and 14th century date, located in an unoccupied waste area within the outskirts of Chichester. It is likely that clay extracted from the site was used for pottery production, such as at the kiln sites near Southgate just north of the site, as it was a common practice to obtain clay in the vicinity of the production site. A number of possible medieval and post-medieval pits, some of which might have been used for rubbish disposal, were also recorded.

Culver Archaeological Project (CAP) organised a series of geophysical surveys in the late summer of 2013 using the magnetometer (MAG) kindly lent to the project by AOC Archaeology. Various volunteers from the summer kindly turned out in all weather conditions to help lay out the grids and lines and some were even able to take control of the MAG, although this did mean getting metal free which was often far harder than it seemed.

Excavation west of Wivelsfield, East Sussex, revealed part of an early Romano-British settlement. One of the round-houses may have had a non-domestic, possibly ritual, function. The settlement appears to have been subsequently incorporated within a rectilinear arrangement of field/enclosure ditches. Along the edge of one of these ditches were built a series of features interpreted as ovens, of varying form and likely use, from which charred waste from cereal processing and charcoal from coppiced woodland were recovered.

Barcombe and Beddingham: Roman Villas from Wealden Iron?, by Ann Best, published 2015 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 153, article, pp.63-71) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18934] & The Keep [LIB/509033] & S.A.S. library   View Online

This paper puts forward the archaeological evidence to suggest that Barcombe and Beddingham Roman villas, and the Romano-British settlement at Upper Wellingham, were not only part of the immediate agricultural landscape, but also linked to the wider industrial landscape which had iron production at its core. It also explores how the economic results of an expanding iron industry could have provided the necessary wealth to support these Romanised houses and a substantial trading settlement in this rural location.

Last summer excavations were undertaken for the first time at Plumpton villa. Found in 1973, the site has on several occasions been partly investigated by the use of survey techniques including: field walking, the recording of soil marks (Allen 1984), and geophysics. These surveys revealed that the main building (house) is of the winged-corridor type and probably dates to the 3rd-mid 4th centuries.

Bignor Roman Villa, by David Rudling and Miles Russell, published 4 May 2015 (160 pp., The History Press, ISBN-10: 0750961554 & ISBN-13: 9780750961554) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries

Discovered in 1811, Bignor is one of the richest and most impressive villas in Britain, its mosaics ranking among the finest in north-western Europe. Opened to the public for the first time in 1814, the site also represents one of Britain's earliest tourist attractions, remaining in the hands of the same family, the Tuppers, to this day. This book sets out to explain the villa, who built it, when, how it would have been used and what it meant within the context of the Roman province of Britannia. It also sets out to interpret the remains, as they appear today, explaining in detail the meaning of the fine mosaic pavements and describing how the villa was first found and explored and the conservation problems facing the site in the twenty-first century. Now, after 200 years, the remarkable story of Bignor Roman Villa is told in full in this beautifully illustrated book.

Trajan Places: Establishing Identity and Context for the Bosham and Hawkshaw Heads, by Miles Russell and Harry Manley, published November 2015 in Britannia (vol. 46, article, pp.151-169)   View Online

Two damaged, weathered marble portraits, both discovered in the 1780s at opposite ends of Roman Britain, one at Bosham in West Sussex, the other at Hawkshaw in Peeblesshire, are here re-examined and identified as portraits of the emperor Trajan. The Bosham head is interpreted as a post-mortem image of the deified Trajan set up at the margins of Chichester Harbour, probably during the visit to Britain by the emperor Hadrian in the early a.d. 120s. The Hawkshaw portrait of Trajan appears to have been refashioned from a likeness of Domitian and may originally have been part of a monument created to celebrate and commemorate the total conquest of Britain, in the early a.d. 80s, which was decapitated and buried during a period of unrest on the northern frontier.

A late Roman "Hall" at Batten Hanger, West Sussex, by James Kenny, Malcolm Lyne, John Magilton and Paul Buckland, published November 2016 in Britannia (vol. 47, article, pp.193-207)   View Online

Excavation of the latest surviving structures of the villa at Batten Hanger in West Sussex indicates that a large aisled building was demolished in the late fourth or fifth century and replaced by a large hall 31.6 m long by 11.5 m wide, orientated approximately east-west. The survival of pad stones shows this space to have been divided into seven bays, with the more westerly bays screened off by a cross wall. The east wall of the building had collapsed outwards and was largely complete. A coin of Valentinian III suggests that occupation continued at least to the middle of the fifth century. The Supplementary Material available online (http://journals.cambridge.org/bri) contains a detailed presentation of the coin hoard and the pottery assemblages.
