Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Julian Bluck, on behalf of his client, Charles Wyndham to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks for an extension at Summertree Stud, Redlands Lane, Robertsbridge, East Sussex. The site lies within the former outer ward of Robertsbridge Abbey, the only Cistercian foundation in Sussex. The remains of a feature interpreted as a probable post-dissolution malt drying kiln were excavated and recorded during the watching brief. Although no firm dating evidence was obtained, documentary sources suggest that that at least one such kiln was in operation at the site in the 1560s.
