Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted on land at 1 The Lynchets, Lewes, East Sussex (NGR 542156 111123). The work was carried out between 22nd and 25th June 2010 by Archaeology South-East on behalf of the client M and G (Contractors) Ltd prior to the construction of a single residential property. The natural geology comprised undivided Upper and Middle Chalk, indicated on British Geological Survey Sheet 319; this was identified at a depth of only 0.22 metres below current ground level. The topography of the natural on the site showed a gradual slope from the northeast (36.19m AOD) down to the southwest (35.68m AOD). Three cut features were identified which proved to be of late post medieval date two of which formed an alignment of postholes along with a posthole identified during the evaluation phase of the site. In the north of the monitored area the remains of a building were identified as wall foundations; remnants of a brick floor; and bedding layers of mortar for these elements. This building corresponds closely to the position of a building identified on the 1875 Ordnance Survey map. A final unconsolidated alignment of 18th to 19th century bricks was found within the topsoil and is likely to have been part of a late post medieval garden path using bricks recovered from the building to the north. |
