Chris Butler Archaeological Services Ltd was commissioned by Eastbourne Homes Ltd (The Client) to carry out an archaeological Desk-based Assessment at Belmore Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, in order to establish the likely presence and importance of any archaeological remains that may be affected by the proposed development of new dwellings at the site. The Desk-based Assessment has established that the site may have witnessed farming for most of its past use. The area is situated in an area that could be ideal for prehistoric occupation but due to the lack of previous archaeological occupation this is unknown. The site was first developed in the late 19th - early 20th century creating a terraced housing area with spaces between the rear gardens of the houses. The site fills one of these rear sites and seems to be developed once before which may have had a large impact on any potential archaeology. Pre-existing archaeological deposits within the site, such as those that represent medieval and Post Medieval farming, are likely to survive beneath the car park.
