Preview:In the summer of 2008 a small trench was excavated across a lynchet (field bank) next to the University of Brighton's halls of residence, Varley Halls, off Coldean Lane in Brighton. This was a small training excavation which I directed as part of my MA in field archaeology at the University of Sussex, with expert support in the field from John Funnell of the Brighton and Hove Archaeological Society (BHAS) alongside several BHAS diggers. The trench was targeted across a lynchet to establish a date and see how it related chronologically to the nearby Middle Bronze Age (MBA) settlement, which was excavated as part of the Brighton-by-pass project by Ian Grieg in 1992.
