Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Roger Howell Architects to excavate 2 archaeological test pits at Hurst Court, The Ridge, Hastings, East Sussex. These were manually excavated. No significant archaeological features or deposits were encountered. A small assemblage of 19th to 20th century artefacts was recovered from the topsoil. The thinness of the overburden and the finds from it are suggestive of intensive landscaping at the site probably associated with the creation of grounds for the school in the 1860s. It was not possible to establish the extent of this truncation and archaeology may survive in other areas of the site but any potential archaeological features in the area of the test pits would have been heavily impacted upon during the process. |
