| Abstract: |
A small-scale archaeological excavation was undertaken at Park View, The Street, Sedlescombe, East Sussex, following an evaluation of the site by trialtrenching. A scatter of prehistoric and Romano-British material was recovered, but the earliest features recorded dated from the medieval period. The most significant deposits encountered were the remains of a post-medieval tannery. The palaeoenvironmental history of the site was characterised through the recovery of sediment cores, suggesting the long term accumulation of organic deposits (peats) before more active alluviation after the beginning of the early medieval period. |
