Abstract: |
This document sets out the results from a programme of archaeological works carried out by West Sussex Archaeology Ltd on behalf of the Cowdray Heritage Trust at the Cowdray Ruins, Midhurst, West Sussex. The works were carried out in April 2019 in order to evaluate three areas in front of the Ruins to inform applications for Scheduled Monument Consent for the erection of marquees.The results revealed the foundations of the north and south flanking walls to the west front of the Tudor mansion, the remains of part of its 18th driveway, a Tudor culvert, and a small 18th century rubbish-filled pit. A number of modern services were also located. It is recommended that the area under Trench 1 is suitable for the erection of marquees, and that the area under Trench 2 is also suitable, providing stakes are kept to a depth of no more than 0.4m. The area under Trench 3 is also considered suitable from an archaeological perspective, providing any stakes are kept to the south of the foundations of the southern flanking wall, found in the trench's northern extension. However the presence of several modern services passing across, or to the east of, Trench 3's eastern half, leads to a recommendation that this area is avoided, unless the services are first accurately located. |
