  • Chris Butler MIFA Archaeological Services
    Chris Butler MIFA Archaeological Services A Desk -based Assessment on the Lansdowne Secure Unit , Hailsham, East Sussex by Chris Butler September 2009 Chris Butler MIFA Lansdowne Secure Unit Archaeological Services Hailsham Summary An archaeological Desk-based Assessment has been carried out on land at the Lansdowne Secure Unit, Hawks Road, Hailsham, East Sussex. The desk-based assessment has established that until the housing development around the site and the construction of the Lansdowne Centre in the 1970’s, the area had been used as farmland, although in the Post Medieval period there were a number of brick and tile works nearby. Although there is no existing evidence for previous activity at the site, given the activity in the broader landscape, it is possible that as yet undiscovered below-ground archaeology may be affected by any development at the site.

  • 9.0 Magham Down
    Status: Issued South Wealden Growth Area Landscape and Ecology Studies _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9.0 Magham Down 9.1 Context Location 9.1.1 The existing village of Magham Down lies approximately 1km from the north-eastern edge of Hailsham. The sites assessed in the Magham Down area comprised four sites around the village centre and two sites on the outskirts of the village. (Refer to Figure 9.1 for location of sites). Landscape Character Context 9.1.2 Magham Down lies on the southern edge of the South Slopes of the High Weald County Landscape Character Area (LCA) and overlooks the Pevensey Levels to the south. (Refer to Figure 2.1 for County Landscape Character Context). A summary of the landscape character of the South Slopes of the High Weald County LCA and its key characteristics is provided below with those characteristics which are particularly evident in the Magham Down area underlined for emphasis. This summary is taken from the East Sussex County Landscape Assessment1: “This is an intricate, small scale landscape with a strong pattern of hedgerows, falling southward from the Heathfield to Battle ridge towards the Low Weald and Pevensey Levels. This landscape of gentle valleys and slopes affords good views of the Downs. Key Characteristics • High Weald landscape at its most intricate; a very detailed landscape. • Deeply dissected into innumerable north-south ridges, valleys and ghylls. • Streams drain mainly into River Cuckmere or Pevensey Levels waterway systems. • Close network of ghyll woodland, small woods, shaws and hedges; 15% woodland. An abundance of hornbeam (‘horebeech’). • Close network of winding lanes with scattered farms, cottages and linear settlements, often on ridges.
