Cotswold Archaeology is supporting a community excavation in West Sussex. It is part of the South Downs National Park hosted and HLF funded ‘The Secrets of the High Woods’ project. A project design to investigate the numerous earthwork monuments hidden in the woods of the National Park.
Over the next few weeks community archaeologists are investigating the bank of an enigmatic enclosure, know from previous woodland survey work and a LiDAR survey of West Sussex woodland.
It is hoped that a single trench will enable archaeologists not only date the enclosure, but build upon the work of Dave McOmish and Worthing Archaeological Society. They suggest that a large number of important and previously unknown Iron Age and Roman monuments are hidden by the trees of the High Woods, including our enclosure.
