Abstract: |
An evaluation test pit was excavated at 2 Sackville Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, in response to an application for planning permission to construct a new house in the garden of the existing property. The site is located within the purported bounds of a Deserted Medieval Village and port known as the Hydneye and is geologically similar to significant Bronze Age sites discovered within the surrounding marshes. The topsoil was littered with late 20th century building rubble that overlay layers of calcareous material and clays and peat. Within the water-logged peat layer a few off-cuts of tanned leather were discovered, which although un-dateable represent a potentially significant archaeological discovery. |
