Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a site proposed for residential development. Excavations to the south of the site had revealed a previously unknown length of the Late Iron Age Chichester Entrenchments, as well as Bronze Age cremations, Roman features and part of a medieval ditched enclosure. Prehistoric artefacts had also been found during development of the hospital's football ground in 1997, whilst aerial photography had revealed what appeared to have been extensive Iron Age occupation to the east of the site. The central area of the proposal site was not available for evaluation. A number of trenches were excavated elsewhere within the site, and several features were revealed. These included three modern post-holes, two probable 18th century ditches, post-holes containing burnt flint and Bronze Age pottery, two ditches containing burnt flint and Roman pottery, and further post-holes and pits. The area of Bronze Age and Roman activity lay in the south-east corner of the site. [AIP] |
