Medieval shipyard in use during the early 15th to mid-16th century. The remains of four possible slipways, surviving in the form of linear depressions, have been identified on an aerial photograph from 1960. These slipways would have been on the edge of the medieval course of the River Rother which by the mid-16th century had silted up leading to the demise of the shipyard. During an limited excavation in 1998 for the Channel Four programme “Time Team”, one slipway was investigated, along with a possible associated limekiln. A large number of iron fittings related with shipbuilding and fragments of ship timbers were recovered during the excavation. The shipyard was associated with two of Henry V's ships: the Jesus, actually built at Small Hythe, and the Henry Grace à Dieu.
