Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundwork relating to a flood alleviation scheme on the promenade at Brighton seafront between West Street and Middle Street. No archaeological finds or features were noted from the groundwork on the Brighton seafront promenade. Storm gravel beach deposits were encountered at a depth of 200mm below the modern ground surface. However, a structure possibly associated with the Victorian sewers (Context 1) was partially revealed during the excavation within 155 Kings Road Arches. The development site lay within the former lower medieval town of Brighton, which was an archaeologically sensitive area and designated as such. This former town had been totally lost to coastal erosion by the early 18th century. [Au(adp)] |
