Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East were commissioned by Eastbourne District Council to carry out a detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey and hand auger survey on land off Hampden Park Drive, Eastbourne, East Sussex. The survey took place on the 17th and 18th of December 2013. The area investigated was a former firing range which is now short grass pasture bounded by hedges and the back wall of the firing range. The geophysical survey revealed several anomalies, although these related to either buried services or to activity linked to the site's use as a firing range. The auger survey demonstrated a thin layer of alluvial clay overlying an oxidised orange clay which in turn sealed the underlying geology (Gault formation). The alluvium was confined to the south-eastern half of the site thinning out to the west. No organic deposits were recorded which may have the potential to preserve wooden archaeological remains. |
