| An Iron Age and Romano-British occupation site lying on a gentle south-facing slope in the upper coastal plain, immediately beneath the Downs. A Late Iron Age enclosure was juxtaposed with a large late Iron Age ditch called Devil's ditch, which seems to have been part of the Chichester entrenchments. The enclosure contained coin moulds and furnace debris, suggesting that it was a coin production site within the territorial oppidum. In the early Roman period, a small settlement or farmstead was built, with at least one building, associated enclosures and a track way, dating from 1st to the 2nd century AD, with some possible reduced activity into the 3rd and 4th centuries. |
