Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation excavation was carried out at Edgmond Chapel, Church Street, Old Town, Eastbourne, East Sussex. Numerous walls and floors were exposed within the trenches opened, and some of these features, including the cellar and the well, may be early Post Medieval in date, if not late medieval. As the natural chalk was not exposed in most of Trench 2 and part of Trench 1, earlier archaeological deposits are likely to survive below the chalk and mortar floors, the wall collapse and the overflowing backfill to the well, all of which were left in situ. Prior to this fieldwork, the site was believed to contain a very high potential for archaeological remains dating to the medieval and Post Medieval periods, upon considering its central location within the Old Town and the findings from previous archaeological excavations in the adjacent area. Evaluation excavation of the site has substantiated this. |
