Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was carried out at the Lansdowne Secure Unit, Hailsham as the first phase of an archaeological evaluation of the site in advance of the construction of a new building. This was then followed up by the excavation of three evaluation trenches. The results of the evaluation excavation revealed no archaeological features, and only a small quantity of artefacts. The lack of features or artefacts, would suggest that the area of the site was probably not cleared of woodland until fairly recently, possibly in the 17th or 18th century, and has then been used for pasture. |
