Ovingdean excavation site

Meeting Point
Entrance to Ovingdean Church (St Wulfran's), Greenways, Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, BN2 7BA

Description
Join site director John Skelton for a tour of the church and site of the excavation of a medieval enclosure associated with the late Saxon and early Norman church. The field contains the remains of a substantial masonry structure, a medieval house, which has an under croft or cellar. We are working within the enclosure looking for a possible detached kitchen, dove-cote and a number of timber framed buildings. The site contains a large number of post holes, pits and ditches. We are also cutting a section through the earthworks surrounding the enclosure as they may be much older than the medieval period.
