Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Building works in Bognor Regis in 2006 uncovered a piece of architectural stonework made from Ditrupa limestone (Calcaire Grossier Formation) from France. This was subsequently identified as a fragment of a 1st/2nd century Corinthian capital with carved acanthus leaves. New discoveries in the area of Bognor Regis suggest that it is timely to review the evidence for Late Iron Age and Roman activity. The distribution of Ditrupa limestone is also discussed, to consider the relevance of this discovery. It is suggested that this fragment may have come from one of the early Roman villas of the West Sussex coastal plain, now lost due to coastal erosion. | ||
