Abstract: |
The shell seat in Gyllyngdune Gardens (located at NGR SW 81266 31888) is first recorded in a photograph taken in 1908. It is not a large enough structure to be shown on any of the historic maps, but is likely to have been constructed at some point during the early to mid 19th century. It comprises a semi-circular open fronted room space (now divided in two) cut into an earth bank overlooking the quarry garden and sea beyond. The fieldwork has revealed that the structure contains at least four separate construction and alteration phases. |
