The Culver Archaeological Project (CAP) was set up in 2006 and is currently investigating a previously unknown Romano British settlement site located in the bend of the River Ouse at Bridge Farm, Upper Wellingham, East Sussex
The project began with a simple programme of field-walking, survey and trial trenching in the hope of identifying further archaeological sites within the landscape around Barcombe Roman Villa. Little did they know back then that they would not only find an unknown Roman road but a sizable undiscovered Romano-British settlement, both of which would lead to large area excavations.
Prehistoric discoveries include a Bronze Age cremation and a Middle Bronze Age steak point found, remarkably in a 1m square test pit, in a water-logged area which could well hide other organic artefacts from this period. Recent seasons have seen our summer campaign move east of the River Ouse to investigate a large unrecorded Romano-British riverside settlement, founded in the late 1st century, enclosed in the late 2nd and still an area of activity through the 3rd and 4th centuries. Whilst our previous objectives and locations are not being neglected it has been decided that priority must be given to this discovery of regional importance.
