Abstract: |
In October 2008 Archaeological Solutions Ltd undertook an archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) of land at Mid Lavant, Chichester, West Sussex (NGR SU855 082). The evaluation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition attached to permission for residential development (Planning Ref. LV/08/01497/FUL). Post-medieval features were found in Trench 3 (Ditch F1013) and Trench 9 (Postholes F1004 and F1012). Undated features were found in Trench 7 (Posthole F1026), Trench 8 (Ditch F1022) and Trench 9 (Posthole F1010 and Pits F1014 and F1016). Medieval features were found in adjacent Trenches 8 (Pits F1020 and F1024) and Trench 9 (Pits F1006 and F1008). The majority of pits dated to the medieval period contained just one medieval sherd (F1006, F1020 and F1024), but Pit F1008 contained 7 sherds (232g). Pits F1006 and F1008 contained animal bone (64g and 30g respectively). Pit F1008 also contained CBM (158g) and oyster shell (27g). The features were predominantly located in the southern (Trenches 7 and 8) and easternmost (Trench 9) sectors of the site. The desk-based assessment predicted that although the site is located away from the focus of the medieval settlement, its location along the road to Chichester suggests it is possible that some roadside activity may have occurred on the eastern side of the site. The majority of medieval and undated features are located in Trench 9. |
