Abstract:		 Watching briefs were maintained during the excavations for the groundworks associated with the construction of six brick piers at Southover Grange Lodge, Eastport Lane, Lewes, East Sussex (Phase 1), and with the underpinning of part of a wall running along the eastern side of the Grange Gardens north of the Winterbourne stream (Phase 2). During Phase 1 an archaeological deposit was encountered in Trenches 5 and 6, suggesting an occupation/activity layer rather an archaeological feature. A substantial assemblage of Medieval pottery was recovered from the deposit in Trench 5 with a much smaller amount coming from the same deposit in Trench 6. A small assemblage of unstratified medieval and post-medieval material was recovered from the topsoil across all six trenches. For Phase 2, 16 pits were excavated by the contractors adjacent to and undercutting the 22m wall, stopping at a depth where solid chalk was encountered. Together they make up a near-continuous section, which shows the position of a chalk bank, possibly a natural chalk spur extended as a made-up causeway, which provided one of two routes crossing the wetlands around the Winterbourne stream from the medieval town of Lewes to the important monastic site of Lewes Priory. Few significant finds were encountered, probably because of previous disturbance during the construction of and earlier repairs to the wall and the channelling of the Winterbourne Stream to address flooding. However, close to the stream possible traces of a previous waterside were found, with some medieval and post-medieval pottery. This gives some evidence of the earlier landscape which has been much altered by the landscaping of the town walls and the Grange Gardens, the nearby railway cutting and the modern management of the Winterbourne.
