Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East were commissioned by Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald to carry out an archaeological watching brief on land north of Tanyard Lane, Winchelsea, East Sussex (NGR 590689 117671) during the construction of a flood alleviation drainage scheme between Tanyard Lane and the River Brede. The work was undertaken between 10th September 2012 and 11th October 2012. The underlying geology is Ashdown Formation sandstone, siltstone and mudstone overlain by tidal flat deposits of clay and silt. The site lies at an average 3.9m AOD. A number of worked timbers were identified within the waterborne riverside deposits that may have related to waterfront structures in the vicinity, however they were not found in situ and it is not clear what their original age or function may have been. Closer to Tanyard Lane in the driveway of one property a different depositional sequence was observed that may have been the result of dredging. The transition between the waterborne river sequence and these deposits is sudden but not clearly understood as the transitional zone was heavily disturbed by pre-existing services and drains. |
