Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by James Braxton to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of foundation trenches at The Lamb Inn, Wartling, East Sussex on 10th and 16th January 2013. Four discrete hand-dug areas were observed: foundation trenches against the rear wall of the east range; a trench along the rear of the modern toilet block, and two small trenches against the rear wall of the early 19th range, within the modern toilet block. The natural substrate was attained across the site, sandstone to the rear of the East range, yellow silty-clay to the rear of the toilet block and stiff blue clay-silt below the toilet block floor. To the rear of the toilet block, brick steps, probably early 19th century in date, associated with a possible garden soil deposit containing pottery dated 1790-1820 provided access to a raised area to the rear of the main building. Modern made ground extended across the area raising the ground level beneath the modern patio surface. To the rear of the East range the made ground was cut by a single probable linear of modern date. The trenches within the building exposed the base of the brick foundations of the rear wall of the early 19th century range. These descended to 0.20-0.25m below ground level, the lower course being stepped-out towards the western end of the wall, the foundation remaining flush at the eastern end. |
