Interesting this is called a trackway for there is a school called causeway, in the Eastbourne Heritage Centre, it is called a bronze age site, and the goodies, we are told, are in the basement of the town hall, as there is no where to display them.

The bus 1 from East Grinstead has Shinewater as heading, and from the South Downs the water shines, even if that is the result now of gravel diggings or some such.

In the Towner centre is currently a display of art and the people, including a display made by children from Shinewater School, about Shinewater, though I am not sure what they thing the bronze age might be.

Volunteers clear Bronze Age site by coldrum on Thursday, 18 June 2009

Volunteers clear Bronze Age site

Volunteers from East Sussex have been recruited to help preserve an important Bronze age archaeological site in Eastbourne by clearing vegetation.

The raised timber platform was probably a small settlement or trading post about 2,800 years ago and is now buried under several feet of clay.

It was discovered during the landscaping of Shinewater Park in 1995.

The clearance project is part of the county council's Countryside Service Volunteers scheme.

Archaeologist Chris Greatorex, who directed the excavation of the site when it was discovered during the development of Shinewater Park in 1995, is joining the volunteers to talk about the site and its history.

It was once part of a network of Bronze Age track ways that criss-crossed the marshy area in what is now northern Eastbourne.

An artist's impressions of what the site may have looked like in 800BC were recently presented to West Rise Junior School.
