Such Wealden settlements were economically tied to iron production, woodland management, and supply to local centres like Chichester (Noviomagus Reginorum) to the south; they represent the indigenous rural population integrated into the Roman provincial economy under the civitas of the Regni. The site would have been peripheral to major military or administrative networks but important to regional resource extraction.
