Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted during groundwork associated with the construction of new extension (ref: LW/05/2260) at "Knowlands", St. Martins Lane, Lewes. Three separate site visits were made on 4th, 7th & 8th August 2006. Six archaeological features were recorded and excavated. In total 5 pits were encountered within the limits of the work. These features were then hand excavated to depths no greater than development formation level. Two medieval pits were identified (Cuts 11 & 14). These pits contained pottery dating between the 11th and 13th Centuries AD. One of these pits (Cut 11) was later re-used in the post-medieval period (Cut 1). Another post-medieval pit was seen cutting through two earlier pits (Cuts 8 & 14). This pit (Cut 6) contained a near complete early 17th century Flechen jug and a 16th century purse. In addition, one large brick built possible cess pit was recorded beneath a supporting wall of the existing house. A brick sample was taken from this structure and dated the feature between the 18th -19th centuries AD. [Au(abr)] |
