Abstract:
The excavation of two 10m trial trenches across the area to be affected by development revealed no finds or discrete features of archaeological interest. Below made ground was a truncated soil which by a metre depth had graded into the upper alluvium of the sedimentary sequence described in section. These alluvial deposits were encountered at between 1.99 and 2.16m O.D. The geoarchaeological assessment of the deeper stratigraphy has determined that the site lies within a former marine inlet which has undergone a process of progressive intertidal silting and eventual isolation from the sea. The site offers great potential to develop a detailed account of landscape development relating to timing of formation and subsequent infilling of a marine inlet. This is regionally significant as the inlet currently represents the best candidate as the location of the Cinqe Port Harbour of Seaford, the definitive position of which is currently unknown.
