Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed culvert realignment site, located on the edge of Roman Chichester. Parts of the town defences had been recorded in the vicinity of the site. Excavations nearby had revealed Early Bronze Age pottery, slightly later ard marks, Iron Age huts and Roman occupation levels. During the evaluation, a probable pit and a ditch containing Roman pottery, a piece of iron slag and an oyster shell were recorded. The latter feature may have been an early Roman defensive ditch. A consolidated layer of flint and sandstone blocks was interpreted as a possible floor or yard surface. A single sherd of medieval pottery was recovered. [AIP] |
