SUMMARY
A total of eight archaeological test-pits were excavated (six hand-dug and two
machine dug) which all contained a consistent sequence of colluvium
overlying alluvial clays containing residual prehistoric artefacts. No
archaeological features were observed beneath the alluvium within the test-
pits. Although dating evidence recovered from the site was minimal, the
alluvium is believed to have been laid down prior to the late-medieval period
and the colluvium to have formed in the late-medieval and post-medieval
periods.
An existing earthwork, situated to the south of the Site, which was also
investigated during the fieldwork, appears to be a relatively recent historical
boundary. An extension to one of the test pits accomplished a profile through
the feature which was a shallow boundary ditch with a bank on its northern
side. Cartographic evidence indicates a boundary in a similar location on the
1875 Ordnance Survey map of the area. This boundary may however
perpetuate a long established division between ‘dryland’ and ‘wetland’ areas
within the site.

1.1.2 The Site covers an area of c. 3.2 hectares, centred on National Grid
Reference (NGR) TQ 6025 0050 (Figure 1).

1.3.1 The Site is situated at the interface of the higher ground to the west
with the lower lying marshland of the Eastbourne Levels to the east.
The ground level reduces from a high of approximately 13m above
Ordnance Datum (aOD) on the north-west to approximately 5m aOD
in the south-east. The Site falls in gentle slopes from north-west to
south-east and from west to east. West of the Site the ground level
rises up toward the Downland, whilst to the east of the Site lies the flat
marshland of the Eastbourne, Mountney and Pevensey levels (CgMs
2005).
2.1 Introduction
2.2.1 Other than a single hand axe recovered from Lottbridge Drove, no
finds of Palaeolithic material are recorded within the study area.

2.3.1 No finds of Mesolithic date are recorded in the area although the
desk-based assessment identifies the location as ‘ideal for hunter
gatherer groups wishing to exploit the upland environment to the west
of the Site and the wetland environment to the east’ (CgMs 2005).
2.4.3 The wetland environment east of the study site was heavily exploited
in the early and middle Bronze Age before a marine transgression in
the late Bronze Age caused an abandonment of earlier activity sites
such as Shinewater. The south of the site may have fluctuated
between marginal marshy land and true wetland at this time.
2.5.2 A substantial earthwork dated to the Iron Age period was recorded to
the north of the Site during excavations by the Eastbourne Natural
History and Archaeological Society (ENHAS).

3.2 Specific
3.2.3 To confirm the results of the Geotechnical test pit data from the Site
with a view to assessing the requirement for further Geotechnical
investigations.
4 METHODOLOGY
4.1 General
4.1.1 All works were undertaken in accordance with the standards set out
within the Specification (Wessex Archaeology 2007).
4.1.2 All works were conducted in compliance with the standards outlined in
the Institute of Field Archaeologist's Standard and Guidance for
Archaeological Excavations (as amended 1994), excepting where
they are superseded by statements made below.
4.1.3 All exposed deposits were recorded using Wessex Archaeology's pro
forma recording system, including the production of a full
photographic and drawn record.
4.1.4 The trial pits were tied in to the Ordnance Survey National Grid using
GPS surveying equipment.

4.3.1 Following on-site consultation with the Client and the ESCC County
Archaeologist it was agreed that further work was required in addition
to the hand-dug test-pitting. This consisted of two machine dug and
hand finished test-pits and an extension to one of the original test-pits
(Test-pit 16) to investigate an adjacent linear earthwork.
5 RESULTS
5.1.1 The test-pits (Figure 1; TP15 – 20) were distributed across the
southern area of the Site on the projected locations of the continuation
of archaeological features, or over anomalies, identified by the
geophysical survey.
5.1.3 The test pits were dug to depths ranging from 1.2m – 1.52m at which
point the underlying weathered chalk bedrock was encountered in all
but Test-Pits 17, 21 and 22. However, the natural geology in the
vicinity of Test-Pit 7 was recorded during the previous Geotechnical
investigations at a depth of approximately 1.6m (CgMs 2005).
5.1.5 It is likely that the colluvium was formed through downslope erosion,
either from the north of the site or the lower slopes of the downs to its
6

5.1.6 The colluvium overlay homogenous compact and cohesive light grey-
brown silty marl type alluvial clay, approximately 0.4m thick. This had
very few inclusions apart from rare small fragments of chalk but did
include pieces of burnt and worked flint, bone, prehistoric pottery and
Ceramic Building Material in very rare quantities (Figure 2). The
deposit was notably deep in Test-Pit 17, 0.78m thick, where it was
sub-divided into three subtly different layers (172, 173, and 174).
5.1.8 In test pits 21 and 22 the base of the alluvium was not observed. The
deposit was encountered at depths of 0.75m to >1.4m and 1.05m to
>1.3m respectively.
5.1.9 All of the test pits, with the exception of 21 and 22 contained a range
of pottery dating from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods.
The pottery assemblage is thought to have been redeposited from the
adjacent area of extensive archaeological remains, as indicated by
the geophysical survey. Test Pit 19 contained a small cluster of
prehistoric worked flint, discussed below; this is also likely to be
redeposited.
5.2 Earthwork
5.2.1 An extant linear earthwork, aligned east-west, which runs across the
southern area of the Site was investigated in an extension to Test Pit
16 (Figure 1). The feature, comprising a shallow ditch and bank on
the northern side (Figure 2), forms a clear boundary between the
area of concentrated dryland archaeology in the north and the area of
deep colluvium and underlying alluvium in the south.

5.2.3 Root disturbance was observed throughout the colluvial bank material
on the northern side of the ditch. This is thought to be due to a hedge
being planted on the apex of the bank supporting the theory that this
feature had previously been utilised as a field boundary.
5.2.4 No dating evidence was recovered from the ditch or bank material.
However, the loose nature of the deposits and its presence on the
1875 Ordnance Survey map indicate a likely modern date for the
boundary feature which seems to have been a precursor to the
existing field boundary (CgMs 2005).
6 FINDS
6.1.1 Finds were recovered from six of the test pits excavated (no finds
were recovered from test pits 21 or 22), comprising a small
assemblage ranging in date from prehistoric to post-medieval. Finds
came from topsoil, colluvial and alluvial layers within test pits. The
condition of the assemblage is poor; ceramic material (pottery, fired
clay, ceramic building material) in particular has suffered high levels of
abrasion, and the worked flints exhibit considerable edge damage.
The whole assemblage is likely to be redeposited.
6.2 Pottery
6.2.1 The pottery provides most of the dating evidence for the site. Material
of later prehistoric, Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval date
was identified. The pottery is in poor condition, with high levels of
abrasion; mean sherd weight is 6.9g.

6.2.4 Thirty-three sherds were dated as late medieval. Apart from one sherd
in a fine sandy glazed ware of West Sussex type, all sherds are in
coarseware fabrics, mainly coarsely tempered with quartz and flint.
There is one jar rim (test pit 20). The coarseware fabrics suggest a
date range of 11th to 12th century, although the West Sussex ware
(colluvium in test pit 15) is later, 13th to 14th century. Late medieval
sherds came mainly from topsoil and colluvial layers, although seven
sherds also came from alluvium in test pit 16.
6.2.5 Two sherd are post-medieval – one glazed redware (topsoil in test pit
17), and one stoneware (topsoil in test pit 20).
6.4.1 The worked flint consists entirely of flakes, mostly patinated, and all
showing signs of edge damage. In the absence of tools or other
utilised pieces, this small group of material can only be broadly dated
as Neolithic/Bronze Age. As noted above, a small cluster (18 out of
the total of 28 pieces) occurred in test pit 19.
6.4.2 Burnt, unworked flint was also encountered. This material type is
intrinsically undatable, although often associated with prehistoric
activity. In this instance the date range is ambiguous as the burnt flint
was associated with pottery and other finds of prehistoric, Roman and
post-Roman date.

8 DISCUSSION
8.1.2 The depositional sequence in the south of the site was consistent
throughout the test-pits with alluvial clay sealed by a build up of
colluvial hill wash (Figure 3). Variations in the depth of these deposits
are relative to their topographic locations. Generally deeper alluvium
occurred within the test-pits towards the base of the hill in the east
and south and deeper colluvium further upslope in the north and
westernmost test-pits.
8.1.4 The extant earthwork, situated to the south of the Site, which was also
investigated during the fieldwork, appears to be a relatively recent
historical boundary. Cartographic evidence indicates a boundary in a
similar location on the 1875 Ordnance Survey map of the area (CgMs
2005). However, this boundary may represent a historic division
11

between the ‘dryland’ upper part of the site and the ‘wetland’ lower
part of the site.

9 CONCLUSION
9.1.1 The results of the Geotechnical test pit data from the southern area of
the Site were found to be broadly accurate however, in the mid region
of the site an overlying colluvial deposit was identified which had not
previously been interpreted as such. The presence of alluvial deposits
was confirmed towards the base of the slope.
9.1.3 Artefacts dating from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods were
recorded from all but two of the test pits, these finds are likely to be
redeposited within the colluvium as the result of hill wash and within
the alluvium as a result of fluvial or marine deposition.
