Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out at The Roundel, Spring Steps, Winchelsea, East Sussex as a condition of planning approval for the construction of a single storey extension and separate summerhouse. The test pit on the footprint of the proposed extension showed that the natural slope of the terrain had been levelled up with a layer of made ground. A possible revetment wall had been cut into this made ground. The wall retained two layers of made ground, which helped to create a raised terrace upon which an early 19th century building was built on. This building was replaced in the 1950's by The Roundel, for which a side patio was built that extended beyond the eastern extent of the earlier terrace. The second test pit at the edge of the garden, and within the footprint of the proposed summerhouse, uncovered topsoil and subsoil above the remains of a possible low garden wall, or dump of stone, which was situated above two deposits which may date to the 15th-16th centuries, possibly representing accumulated rubbish against the rear of town wall. |
