Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by The Santon Group to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land at the Phoenix Industrial Estate, North Street, Lewes, East Sussex. Owing to problems with buried services, an evaluation trench located on the presumed alignment of the medieval town wall could not be excavated. Subsequently two smaller trenches were mechanically excavated nearby. Both trenches revealed a similar sequence. This consisted of apparently untruncated river alluvium at a depth of 2.2 to 2.5 metres below present ground level. Cut into this alluvium a 19th century brick, chalk and flint wall survived to a height of between 0.86 and 1.68m. The wall almost certainly pertains to the Phoenix Iron Works which remained in operation on the site until the 1970's. On either side of this wall distinct layers of dumped material up to 2.5m thick containing 18th and 19th century pottery, glass, metal, CBM and clay tobacco pipe artefacts were recorded. No earlier remains, finds, or elements relating to the medieval town wall were uncovered. Given the limited area of the site evaluated at this time, the results of the current project cannot be considered as indicative of the character of buried remains across the development site as a whole.
