This landscape type is dominated by the chalk scarp which forms a dramatic backdrop. The footslopes themselves form a transition between the steep chalk scarp to the south and the Low Weald to the north. DESCRIPTION Integrated Key Characteristics: • Complex geology comprising bands of lower chalk, mudstones and sandstones giving rise to a locally undulating landform. • Forms a transition between the steep chalk scarp to the south and the Low Weald to the north. • Large, straight-sided arable fields close to the scarp foot which have encroached up onto the scarp in places. • Mosaic of farmland and woodland comprising irregular fields of arable and pasture bounded by an intact network of thick hedgerows, with hedgerow oaks, and woodland.

    APPENDIX 6-2 CULTURAL HERITAGE BASELINE 3 CULTURAL HERITAGE BASELINE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The following section presents a summary of the archaeological and historical background of the general area. This is presented by period as shown in Table 6.1 below, and has been complied to place the study area into a wider archaeological context. SUMMARY OF BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL TIME PERIODS AND DATA RANGES PERIOD DATE RANGE PREHISTORIC PERIOD: Palaeolithic 500,000 – 10,000 BC Mesolithic 10,000 – 3,500 BC Neolithic 3,500 – 2,200 BC Bronze Age 2,200 – 700 BC Iron Age 700BC – AD 43 ROMANO-BRITISH AD 43 – AD 410 EARLY MEDIEVAL AD 410 – AD 1066 LATE MEDIEVAL AD 1066 – AD 1540 POST-MEDIEVAL AD 1540 – C1750 INDUSTRIAL PERIOD C.AD1750-1914 MODERN POST-1915 PREHISTORIC PERIOD (500,000 – AD 43) The East Sussex landscape comprises archaeological evidence of Prehistoric settlements ranging from the Palaeolithic to Iron Age epochs. Palaeolithic settlements initially comprised of ‘hunter and gather’ communities and subsequent farming communities including sheep-and-corn farming, across the South and Eastern Downs. In the Neolithic epoch, the Eastern Downs landscape was characterised by downland forest clearlands which continued progressively into the Bronze Age and Iron Age epochs.1 The Bronze Age saw a dramatic shift away from the ceremonial, monumental landscape towards more advanced agricultural cultivation methods such as field systems, defined by earthwork banks and ditches. Evidence of enclosed settlements with round houses and farmsteads include those uncovered in the Chalk Downs, and at Itford Hill, East Sussex.2 There is evidence of Prehistoric wetlands, known as the Willingdon Levels (DES10069) in the inner study area, comprising buried waterlogged prehistoric land surface and associated organic structures and remains.
