Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by McLaren Construction Group to undertake an Archaeological Watching Brief on groundworks, specifically pile cap excavations at the UHC 2 Building Site, Priory Quarter, Hastings, East Sussex. This work was undertaken in accordance with a written scheme of investigation approved by the Local Planning Authority. Development proposals include the construction of a five story over basement building adjacent to the rear of the extant Post Office building which fronts onto Cambridge Road. Archaeological supervision was undertaken on a total of 59 piles and limited ground reduction across the site. Two test pits were also excavated in order to determine the presence of archaeological remains. The groundworks uncovered no finds, features or layers of archaeological significance. An assessment of two geoarchaeological boreholes is currently ongoing. The purpose of this work is to mitigate the impact of the present development and inform future development proposals in the immediate vicinity. |
