Abstract:		 In November 2016 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological `strip, map and sample' excavation at land adjacent to Kilnside, Tunbridge Wells Road, Mark Cross, East Sussex (NGR TQ 58290 31749). The excavation was commissioned by Magnum Opus Developments Ltd and was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of two semi-detached dwellings. The site lies within an Archaeological Notification Area (No. 1121) recorded on the East Sussex Historic Environment Record. The Area relates to the medieval and post-medieval hamlet of Mark Cross. The principal archaeological interest of the site, however, is based on its location within a former brick and tile works of 18th/19th century date. Historic cartographic sources show kilns, drying sheds and other structures on the site of the proposed new dwellings. The brick works may have been established in the 18th century, and were expanded shortly before 1834. The investigation revealed remains associated with brick manufacture, specifically linked to kiln working. It is possible that the evidence recorded represented a kiln shown on historic maps that was almost completely removed and the pit backfilled with brick and tile rubble. The lack of coherent structural remains and minimal burnt fabric found may also be explained if an adjacent kiln visible on historic maps was demolished and the rubble pushed over into the working floor. Evidence of a rectangular structure was recorded in the western part of the site, likely a drying shed, also depicted on the historic maps.
