Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by Archaeology South-East during the insertion of flood defences in Hastings between the 29th October 2007 and the 26th of February 2008. The work included the excavation of pipe trenches of an average width of 1.2 metres to a depth of up to 3 metres in addition to topsoil stripping of the area for the location of the compound. The sections of excavation work undertaken along the route of road and pathways revealed no archaeological deposits. A void space uncovered in front of the Angel pub was found to have originated from settled backfill of an earlier sewerage pipe trench. In the grassed area at the north of the compound site a deposit of degraded concrete suggests that a structure may have stood on the site in post medieval or modern times, this possible foundation was not investigated further as no further impact by the works was anticipated. |
