Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East have completed a Geo-Archaeological investigation during the refurbishment of a basement at 8 Black Lion St, Brighton. This investigation required the monitoring of a 4m x 4m X 12m deep excavation. The recorded sequence was identical across the whole extent of the basement and comprised decalcified Head Gravel. It was noted that a small percentage of the gravels were heavily rolled but not to the extent that would suggest inclusion in a beach gravel .The conclusion was reached that a component of the gravels within the Head Deposits were introduced through high-energy flow perhaps as part of the bed-load of braided channels forming on the flanks of the Steyne valley during the quaternary. Archaeology South-East have also undertaken Historic Buildings Recording during the works. An inspection of the cellar after the almost total stripping out of the structure, including most of the intervening floors, revealed several areas of walling constructed in a material known locally as 'Bungaroosh'. The cellar walls incorporated several brick features and showed evidence of extensive modifications to the structure over time. All but the east wall were predominantly constructed in Bungaroosh at cellar level, with a continuation of this type of fabric visible in parts of the upper floors. The adjacent Old Shop Assembly Rooms building of 1767 abuts the property to the west and externally, the fabric of the north wall of the Assembly rooms was of the same type as that in situ within the cellar indicating a possible contemporary origin for construction. The south wall of the cellar is shared by the Old Ship Hotel to the south of the site and there are a series of arched features incorporated in the construction of the wall. The east wall of the cellar is in brick.
