Preview:As a response to a development proposal for a superstore at Arkwright Road, Eastbourne a programme of archaeological investigation was required by the county council and borough council. The area is currently an industrial estate built in the early 1980s on a raft of 1m of imported chalk and lies on the edge of the Willingdon Levels. Earlier significant discoveries of well preserved Neolithic to Roman waterlogged artefacts, structures, platforms and trackways and palaeoenvironmental evidence considered to be nationally important, have highlighted the archaeological and palaeo-environmental potential of the peat and alluvial deposits in this area. The presence of extensive waterlogged deposits are rare in south east England and the potential for pollen referencing not only local wetlands, but also the vegetation of the chalk which is essentially devoid of pollen was clearly important.
