Rescue excavations undertaken during 1994 by the Field Archaeology Unit of the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, on land adjacent to the Old Farmhouse, High Street, Pevensey, revealed a dense concentration of archaeological features. The excavations and post-excavation work were funded by English Heritage.
Although some residual Romano-British material was found, no evidence of actual occupation of this period was discovered. The onset of habitation on the site appears to have been during the 12th century. The badly damaged remains of one possible building dating to this period were identified. It appears to have gone out of use by the end of the 13th century. Numerous features, predominantly pits, dating from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries were also located, although no definite structural remains could be associated with them. Evidence for activity dating from the 16th to 18th centuries was limited. 19th-century activity had, however, been extensive, causing serious damage to the earlier remains in the street frontage area.

Tidemills 2008: Digging up Grand-dad's china - Excavation of the Stationmasters' cottage, by Luke Barber, published August 2009 in Sussex Past & Present (no. 118, article, pp.10-11, ISSN: 1357-7417) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/500475] & S.A.S. library   View Online

The 2008 season at Tidemills saw the completion of excavations on the first of the studied houses at the site. The building, known as the Stationmaster's cottage, is situated just to the south-west of the level crossing, by the former station. Prior to the excavations little was known of the cottage. A number of incoherent walls could be seen protruding through the undergrowth and, following some basic cartographic work, it appeared that the building should prove quite straightforward. Excavations showed this assumption to be wrong yet again! The project is starting to see a repeating pattern of apparently detailed historical sources, including cartographic and photographic, giving a too simplistic view which can only be rectified through archaeological survey and excavation. The only photograph so far discovered of the Stationmaster's cottage shows a snap-shot of two sides of the building in its final form and the maps, although showing extensions miss out on functional detail, internal modifications and changes to the outbuildings and gardens.
However, the archaeological evidence relies heavily on the historical sources: a truly integrated project for a change!

The medieval hospital of St Nicholas, Lewes, East Sussex: excavations 1994, by Luke Barber and Lucy Sibun, published 2010 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 148, article, pp.79-110) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18613] & The Keep [LIB/500366] & S.A.S. library   View Online

During the spring/summer of 1994 excavations were undertaken at the former site of the medieval hospital of St Nicholas, Lewes, East Sussex prior to redevelopment works. Two areas were excavated but little structural evidence for the hospital buildings was located. One area revealed part of the hospital cemetery and 103 burials were excavated. Also within this area were two large quarries thought to have been dug during a construction phase at the hospital, probably in the twelfth century. The second area contained yet another quarry, used for the disposal of large quantities of domestic refuse, particularly pottery, in the early thirteenth century. This area also contained the remains of a sill wall for a timber-framed building, which may have served the hospital.

The 2010 season proved a busy one again with a mixture of vegetation clearance, standing structure recording and excavation. Most work concentrated on the farmyard area situated to the north of the main village, but to the south of the stationmaster's cottage (see SPP No. 118). The historic maps showed two main buildings in this area. The largest, a barn, was situated next to the road with a long building to the south-east. The latter is shown with pens along part of its south-eastern side and was thought to be an animal shed.

The main 2011 work concentrated on the old allotments. All the historic maps, including the Tithe map show this area as open ground within the village. The 'busiest' map (the 1st edition OS of 1880) shows a small lean-to structure in the SW corner and several paths crossing the area but the 1937 map shows nothing again.

The Society's research project at Bishopstone Tidemills pushed on into the heart of the village during the 2013 season. Unlike other areas the building remains here do not survive to a notable height and the low, thick vegetation cover hid the vast majority of walls to the casual observer. However, as soon as one actually fought a way in, it was very apparent that a myriad of walls awaited the volunteer team.

Training for war: Plans of the three Great War Divisional Camps in Sussex, by Luke Barber and Justin Russell, published 2015 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 153, article, pp.191-201) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18934] & The Keep [LIB/509033] & S.A.S. library   View Online

During research on the Great War camps at Seaford, the authors located a set of 1916 plans in the Canadian national archives. Not only was Seaford covered but also the camps at Crowborough and Shoreham. These extensive sites have all but disappeared and the plans therefore provide an invaluable insight into the three divisional camps in the county. The plans have been redrawn and colour coded for reproduction here along with a brief explanatory narrative.

The 2014 season proved to be another busy one. Although some time was spent finishing off excavating and recording structures from 2013, most efforts moved south, investigating three new buildings and a greenhouse.
