Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by SPM Ltd on behalf of George on High Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief at The George Hotel, High Street, Rye, East Sussex. The work was carried out in connection with proposals to convert adjoining buildings to hotel storage and accommodation as well as remodelling of existing elements of the hotel. The watching brief covered alterations to the actual structure of the building(s) in addition to associated ground-works. The watching brief associated with the ground-works succeeded in revealing evidence of medieval activity at the site. Residual activity dating to the late 11th- early/mid-13th century was encountered, however, the earliest features dated to the early/mid-13th century- mid/late 14th century. This activity comprised pits and a well characteristic of medieval 'yard' activity, as well as a fenced (and possibly ditched) boundary, likely to relate to a medieval burgage plot. Later activity comprised deposits of remnant 'garden soil', probably associated with the backyard of the 'Wealden' hall that once occupied 12 Lion Street. Further remains comprised structural and service features related to the post-medieval development of the various properties that at one time or another occupied the site.
