Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commission by Brighton and Hove City Council to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Horsdean Traveller site, Braypool Lane, Patcham, Brighton, East Sussex. Three trenches were mechanically excavated at the site. Natural chalk was tentatively identified only in the far north of the site (Trench 3) at 62.66m AOD. Elsewhere on the site the trenches were not of sufficient depth to prove natural geology and the earliest deposits encountered consisted of a possible subsoil or colluvial horizon, which was also seen to seal the possible natural chalk in Trench 3. In Trench 1 a probable buried topsoil horizon was observed, sealed by a later of recent made ground. In Trenches 2 and 3, made ground was seen to directly overlie the probable subsoil/colluvial horizon. In all three trenches, the sequence was capped by the topsoil horizon of the site. No finds or features were encountered on the site, but as the archaeological horizon was not encountered across much of the site, archaeology, if present, may still survive. |
