Abstract
WITHIN THE NORTHERN EUROPEAN SYSTEM, barns and ricks for the keeping of sheaves prior to threshing was the favoured method of storing an arable crop. Despite the prevalence of this technique, evidence for medieval barns pre-dating the 13th century is rare. The discovery and excavation of not one, but three possible barns, dating somewhere between the 10th to 13th centuries, marks a significant contribution to our understanding of the British and continental grain storage tradition. The work was undertaken by members of Archaeology South-East based at University College London, Institute of Archaeology (ASE) and the Brighton and Hove Archaeology Society (BHAS) during the summer of 2013. Though the site was found to be rich in structural evidence, artefactual material was scarce. For more information on the meagre finds the reader is directed to the associated grey literature report (ASE Citation2014).
