Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by the Rye Museum Association to undertake an archaeological watching brief during a hand dug test pit in advance of drainage works and conservation of the Women's Tower at Ypres Tower Museum. The work took place on the 22nd of November 2011. Excavations were located in the Museum garden adjacent to the Women's Tower where post-medieval drainage features were encountered. Further groundworks are likely at the site. Subsequently, ASE undertook an archaeological watching drainage works at the Women's Tower, Ypres Tower, Rye. The excavations comprised a hand dug soakaway pit and drainage trench in the northeast of the courtyard. The drainage trench recorded made ground deposits overlain by concrete slabs. Natural clay was observed in the soakaway pit, it was overlain by made ground deposits the earliest of which contained disarticulated human bone. |
