Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted at Davison CE High School for Girls, Selborne Road, Worthing, West Sussex (NGR 515883 103513). The work was carried out between 4th and 5th August 2010 by Archaeology South-East on behalf of the client Joynt Construction prior to the construction of an improved school canteen. An area 164 metres square representing the footprint of the development was excavated to reduce the ground level and pits for concrete pads and wall foundations were excavated; this work was monitored in order to record any remains that were likely to be disturbed by the development. The natural geology comprised Raised Beach Deposits (gravel and sand interbedded), indicated on British Geological Survey Sheet 318/333 Worthing and Brighton. This was identified at a depth of only 0.40 metres below current ground level. No archaeological features or finds were identified, the natural sands had been horizontally truncated by the construction of the school and was overlain by made ground, levelling deposits for a paved courtyard and concrete road. |
