Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, University College London, was commissioned by Peter and Louise Wingate-Saul to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks on land to the rear of 25 A-C Priory Street, Lewes, East Sussex. Works monitored included excavations associated with underpinning the eastern boundary wall, excavations associated with foundation works for the new dwelling and the excavation of a service trench. The site is situated close to the northern boundary of Lewes Priory and the potential for the ground-works to reveal archaeology was considered high. Two evaluation trenches excavated at the site by ASE revealed the remains of chalk block wall foundations and for that reason the ESCC Archaeologist advised that any excavations undertaken subsequently be monitored by an Archaeologist. A pit was partially revealed by the ground-works which contained pottery dating from the earliest phases of the Priory as well as a single fragment of Roman brick. This was sealed by a mortar surface and a layer of masonry waste consisting of both Quarr stone and Caen Limestone which may have been deposited by the re-working of stone robbed from the Priory post dissolution. All other features noted on site were cut down through the mortar surface and waste stone deposit including the chalk wall foundations noted in the evaluation carried out at the site. Although there was evidence of extensive Post-Medieval activity at the site in the form of wall foundations and made ground earlier features and deposits were little disturbed and it is reasonable to assume that any archaeological remains still present at the site will be preserved in-situ. The natural chalk geology was observed across the site at 9.73m AOD in the south and 10.11m in the north.
