Data from an Archaeological Evaluation East of Sackville Road, Hove, East Sussex, January 2021

This digital archive comprises images, cad, gis, site records and report data from an archaeological evaluation on land east of Sackville Road, Hove, East Sussex. The work was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology between 18th - 25th January 2021 .The evaluation (WA 207772) comprised 6 archaeological trial trenches and 6 geoarchaeological test pits within the southern half of the site. A total of seven archaeological features, comprising a single linear ditch, three postholes and three pits, along with a further possible archaeological feature were recorded during the evaluation. None of the features provided secure dating, however the predominance of recovered material was indicative of prehistoric activity. The evaluation succeeded in fulfilling the aims and objectives as set out in the WSI (Wessex Archaeology 2020). The evaluation demonstrated that previous development has truncated the natural across the site, although the extent of the truncation was unclear.
