Prehistoric
Eight humanly-struck flints were retained, including three cores and an end scraper of Mesolithic date.

Romano-British
Four sherds of Romano-British pottery were recovered from the westernmost end of the field and thus in close proximity to the presumed alignment of the London-Lewes Roman road.

Medieval
One sherd of 11th-12th century pottery was identified. A spread of 29 13th-14th century pot sherds found across the whole field (no obvious spatial patterning discernible).

Only eight pot sherds of 15th-mid 16th century date were located (no conclusive concentrations apparent) suggesting a decrease in local activity during this period.

Post-medieval
A large number of Post-medieval pottery sherds were recorded over the whole field, with clear concentrations being documented around the former sites of two long since vanished cottages. The pottery recovered from the area of 'Cottage 1' (TA 676: identified as Bryants Cottage in 1840) is of 17th and mainly 18th century date, while that retrieved from the site of 'Cottage 2' (TA 674: not named on the tithe map, but later identified as Bonnicks) is predominantly of 18th and 19th century origin.

High levels of brick, tile and slate were found across the entire field, indicating that debris from the two demolished cottages has been spread by ploughing etc.

Method: Main area of field (including the sites of two former cottages) line-walked at 20m. intervals, with each line divided into three lengths of c.50m. The 'outfield' was 'randomly' inspected /walked over only.
