Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Mackellar Schwerdt Architects Ltd. to undertake an archaeological watching brief at the Chantry Community Primary School, Barrack Road, Bexhill, East Sussex during groundworks associated with the relocation of a mobile classroom on the site. Monitored groundworks included the excavation of two drainage trenches measuring 0.45m wide and 0.60m deep, with an associated soakaway measuring 1.20m2 and 1.5m deep. The underlying natural geology was recorded at a maximum height of 26.94m OD. This was sealed by a buried ploughsoil horizon, in turn overlain by a levelling layer for a 20th century brick built terraced property. This consisted of brick footings supported on thin concrete foundations with associated screeded concrete floors. The remains of this building were sealed by an associated demolition horizon, in turn sealed by the topsoil of the site. Analysis of historic Ordnance Survey maps shows the terraced property stood on the site from the turn of the 20th century until the 1960s. no other archaeological finds or features were observed during the course of the archaeological watching brief. |
