Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on Land at Newlands House, Arundel Road, Fontwell, West Sussex. The work was undertaken between 1st and 3rd November 2006 on behalf of Antler Homes. Eight trial trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 125m. Two burnt tree throws were investigated however; no archaeological features or finds of archaeological significance were encountered. In conjunction with the archaeological evaluation geoarchaeological investigations were undertaken on the 2nd November 2006 by Chris Pine of Development Archaeology Services (DAS), this work comprised the excavation of three geoarchaeological test pits within three of the evaluation trenches. Sediments associated with a Raised Beach were identified, however it was not possible to clearly identify this with the Aldingbourne Raised Beach or the Goodwood-Slindon Raised Beach. Further investigation involving purposive drilling may allow the stratigraphic sequence to be more closely compared with these known raised beach sequences. However, the proposed development would not impact on preservation in situ unless it was to exceed depths of 2.25m below ground level. Whilst no remains of archaeological significance were encountered the geoarchaeological investigation provides further data for the study of raised beaches and landscape change. |
