Abstract:
Groundworks for the construction of a tennis court were monitored at a site which lay within a suspected Roman formal garden to the south of Fishbourne Roman Palace. The house to the north of the tennis court overlay part of the south wing of the palace. During the watching brief large quantities of modern building material, almost certainly derived from the demolished outbuildings of a chicken farm which had occupied the site until the mid-1970s, was observed. Fragments of Roman tile were also found, but no Roman features were revealed. Archaeological features at the site were likely to have survived at depths of between c. 0.7m and 0.9m below the ground surface, judging from a published section of a Roman water channel which crossed the southern half of the property, excavated in 1969. This being the case, and in view of the later disturbances caused by the chicken sheds, it was concluded that the discovery of archaeological features during the present work had been unlikely. [AIP]
