Roman activity at the Chichester Festival Theatre site Oaklands Park, Chichester
by ALICE THORNE
with contributions by Anna Doherty, Lucy Sibun, Elke Raemen and Susan Pringle
An archaeological excavation within the grounds of the Chichester Festival Theatre, Oaklands Park, Chichester, West Sussex has revealed evidence of predominately late 2nd- to late 3rd-century activity some 300m north of the northern gate of the Roman walled city. Several Roman features, including a late 3rd-century cremation burial, were identified. An earlier excavation in the vicinity of the site located evidence of a possible timber-silled building also of Roman date.
