Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was appointed by Bellway Homes Ltd to undertake an archaeological excavation -strip, map and sample - on land at the Newlands School Site, Eastbourne Road, Seaford, East Sussex. The excavation comprised of 4 areas totalling 0.81 hectares. The investigations at the site of the former Newlands school have revealed archaeological resources that show multiple phases of activity within the Site. The earliest activity dates to the Bronze age, comprising a few pits located in the northern part of the Site. The archaeological activity within the Site was dominated by features dated to the Saxon period. The focus of this activity was a large enclosure, with a secondary inner ditch. Within this area were a number of pits, which contained archaeological remains, believed to be linked to agricultural processing. Alongside these features where are number of other Saxon pits and two possible Sunken feature buildings. There were also remains dated to the medieval and post-medieval periods, though there were only a few features dating to these periods. The Medieval activity comprises a well, large pit and possible post hole structure. These features were dispersed and likely represent activity linked the medieval settlement of Sutton. The Post-Medieval activity comprised two buildings and a ditch, likely related to agricultural activity.
