Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during demolition, piling and the excavation of relatively shallow foundation trenches for alterations and extensions, at a site which lay on the line of one of the principal Roman streets of Chichester. East Street had been the main commercial street in Chichester from the middle ages until the present day. During the watching brief, a number of features were revealed. A soakaway had cut an earlier brick vaulted chamber with a culvert. Removal of these revealed a still earlier soakaway. Further features included recent brick footings with associated pits filled with cess, suggesting a possible toilet area in a small open yard, two large pits containing occasional pieces of oyster shell and Roman and medieval tile and pottery, two post-medieval wells, a medieval or slightly later tile kiln, a series of rubbish pits and the remains of post-medieval walls. One wall lay on an earlier line. A robber trench was noted which had a fill of brick, tile and mortar; some of the tile was of Roman date. It was concluded that the observations made at the site were comparable with those made elsewhere in Chichester. The backs of burgage plots from medieval times to the 19th century had been full of wells and cess-pits, and the present site was no exception. The probability of the survival of Roman archaeology below and between the pits was considered to be low. [AIP]
