Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out at The Wish Tower, Eastbourne, East Sussex to monitor groundworks for a new memorial garden in the moat of the existing Martello Tower. The groundworks exposed topsoil and subsoil overlying redeposited clay. A deposit of 20th century building rubble was also found in parts of the Site above the redeposited clay. A 20th century brick-built drain, containing some reused 19th century bricks, was encountered during the watching brief. Late Post Medieval - Modern CBM, metal and glass were recovered from the Site. No other archaeological features or deposits were encountered. This report and CBAS Ltd contribution to this project is dedicated to Chris Butler's Great Grandmother, Frances Crowhurst and Great Aunt, Louisa Crowhurst, who were killed in an air raid on Eastbourne on 15th January 1943, and whose names appear on the memorial. |
