| Abstract: |
The appraisal area comprised the former Goods Yard at Hastings Railway Station, now used as a car park. A proposal had been made to create a mixed residential, educational and business development. A review of existing archaeological and geotechnical information suggested that much of the site had been heavily landscaped, involving terracing down to the natural geology, thus removing any potential archaeological deposits. However, borehole data suggested that silty deposits underlying the southern end of the site at a depth of over 6.5m may have been of alluvial origin, and if so may have contained palaeoenvironmental deposits or have masked archaeological remains (although it was considered that the potential for the latter was low). Minor archaeological deposits relating to the 19th-century railway may also exist on the site, together with several extant 19th-century industrial buildings of local interest. [Au(abr)] |
