| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches for a garage, at a site which lay close to the line of Chihester's Roman and medieval city wall. A scatter of flint nodues with some sandstone rubble was encountered. This was similar to a layer excavated at a site to the south, where it had sealed two infilled Roman ditches, one associated with the first defences in the 3rd century, and one dating to the 4th century. The rubble layer at this site had been interpreted as a landscaping feature of the 18th-19th centuries, the material perhaps having been derived from demolition of the remains of the city wall. It was concluded that the garage foundation had made no impact on significant archaeological deposits, although it was reasonably certain that it had sealed part of the ditch associated with the first Roman town defences. During a visit to the site earlier in the year, a well of probable 19th century date and the footing of an outbuilding associated with a house shown on a map of 1875 had been recorded. The footing was constructed of fine re-used sandstone; it was conjectured that this may have derived from conventual buildings. [AIP] |
