Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was maintained during building alterations at 2, Spring Cottages, Peelings Lane, Westham, East Sussex (NGR 563890 104648). The work was undertaken between the 17th March and 26th March 2008. An area measuring c.7.5m (max) by c.12.5m was excavated to the west of 2, Spring Cottages as part of the redevelopment of the site (Planning References: WD/2007/1340 and WD/2007/1350). Within the trench three pit/posthole features were revealed, cutting into the natural deposits. One posthole contained 20th century material and the other contained a single sherd of Roman date. The final feature was probably a rubbish pit which contained a mix of 19th century pottery and porcelain sherds, many small animal bones with signs of butchery and a 19th/20th century fragment of bottle-glass. Whilst providing evidence of archaeological activity from the Roman, post-medieval and modern periods, the results of the watching brief monitoring did not indicate the archaeological potential suggested by previous works carried out within a close vicinity. |
