Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted on land at the former Roche Buildings, Bell Lane, Lewes, East Sussex (NGR 540500 109600). The work was carried out between 10th and 11th May 2010 by Archaeology South-East on behalf of the client Enplan prior to redevelopment. Two 10 metre trenches were excavated in order to assess the archaeological potential of the site and record any remains that were likely to be disturbed by the development. The site lies partially within an Archaeologically Sensitive Area and borders a Conservation Area. The natural geology comprised undivided Upper and Middle Chalk, indicated on British Geological Survey Sheet 319. The topography of the natural within the trenches showed a slope from the south (8.50m AOD - Trench 2) down towards the north (8.04m AOD - Trench 1). Three small pit cut features were identified associated with pottery from the 17th to 19th centuries and sealed by up to 1.40 metres of made ground. |
