Abstract: |
Archaeology South East were commissioned by Ichthus Architects Ltd (on behalf of Peter Groom) to undertake an archaeological Watching Brief during groundworks associated with the construction of new extension (ref: LW/05/2260) at ''Knowlands'', St Martins Lane, Lewes, East Sussex (NGR 541407 109962). Three separate site visits were made on 4th, 7th and 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 and 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 and 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 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. |
