Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted on land at Lower Hoddern Farm, Peacehaven, East Sussex (NGR: 541750 102191) between the 18th and 19th January 2010. The work was commissioned by the landowner, Mr Colin Appleton, to assess the archaeological potential of the site in advance of the replacement of three industrial buildings at the site and associated infrastructure including road modifications. The site lies to the east of Pelham Rise on former agricultural land that had been converted for light industrial use. Six trenches were excavated with a cumulative length of 60 metres. Four trenches consisted of a simple sequence of topsoil and subsoil overlying natural brickearth, while the remaining two had a similar sequence but were sealed by made ground dumping deposits. In one of these cases the made ground was associated with the construction of a flat area of land retained by a wall forming a platform for a windmill in use during the 1960's. No archaeological features were identified and no artefacts were recovered. |
