Preview:The Woodland Trust, which acquired Brede High Woods (6 miles north of Hastings, East Sussex, NGR TQ793201) in 2007, secured a 'Your Heritage' HLF grant of £50k to run a community archaeology project to help uncover more about the archaeology and history of this 262 hectare site. The grant runs from October 2011 to June 2014. Chris Butler Archaeological Services is leading the project on behalf of the Woodland Trust and we have successfully completed a rewarding first year of investigations during which we attracted over 100 volunteers, some of whom regularly turned up in what were, at times, truly appalling weather conditions.
