Abstract: |
Eight archaeological evaluation trenches were excavated by hand and machine between the 27th May and 6th June 2008 in the Tower Street car park, Chichester. The site was previously excavated in 1974 and the remains of a Roman bath house were identified amongst other findings. This evaluation sort to again assess the state of preservation of the bath house masonry and accurate locate the structures in advance to the redevelopment of the site. Trenches 2 and 4 identified the masonry remains of the cistern and the apsidal hypocaust room of the bath house (Room 1, Period 3, Period A in the 1974 excavation). The Roman sewer was located in trench 6, outside of the area of the 1974 excavation and was comparable in size and character to the portions excavated in 1974. No archaeological deposits were identified in trenches 1, 7 and 8 located in the car park perimeter bank. |
