Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in the autumn of 2007 at the site of The Martlets Care Home, East Preston, on behalf of Warings Contractors. The aim of the evaluation and watching brief was to assess the impact of the proposed residential redevelopment on any surviving archaeological remains, and record any features encountered. The evaluation comprised four machine excavated trenches, three of which measured 20m by 2m, with the remaining trench measuring 30m by 2m. Only one trench was recognised as containing archaeological material, consisting of a late post-medieval boundary ditch. The evaluation trenches also indicated that modern horizontal truncation of deposits may occurred across the site, potentially associated with construction and use of the existing Martlets Care Home. The focus of the archaeological watching brief was the excavation and recording of a World War Two air raid shelter present on site. Further observations made during the watching brief recorded additions elements of the same post-medieval boundary ditch discovered during the evaluation. Overall, a low density of archaeological significant features was encountered. This indicates the potential for archaeological deposits to be present on the remainder of site is limited.
