Abstract
Excavations undertaken by Archaeology South-East (ASE; UCL Institute of Archaeology) revealed a medieval saltern located on the Ouse Estuary between Newhaven and Bishopstone. It survived as a low oval mound some 75m by 50m in size, with evidence of salt-making activity surviving as numerous pits (some of which were clay-lined), up to four re-used hearth sites, two enigmatic bone alignments and a number of large pits or depressions that may have served as water reservoirs. The saltern was in use in the late 11th to 12th centuries. Fieldwalking revealed the sites of two further possible salterns, whilst a watching brief produced a small quantity of unstratified prehistoric worked flints.
