Abstract:		 The evaluation consisted of two trenches located in the eastern portion of the proposed development. Trench 1 measured 33.00m in length and was located to the east of the existing town walls primarily to assess the defence ditches associated with the Roman settlement at Chichester. Trench 2 was located to the N/E of Trench 1, measured 10.00m in length and was located primarily to assess the extramural land to the east of the defence ditches. The evaluation found natural deposits in both trenches although the natural horizon was heavily truncated in Trench 1. The evaluation revealed evidence for five N/S orientated ditches of various size and date with three dating to the Roman period and two dating to the 13th/14th century. Two of the ditches appear to represent the V-shaped ditches commonly associated with an earlier phase of defensive earthworks surrounding the Roman settlement at Chichester whilst the third ditch is associated with the construction of bastions on the settlement wall in the 4th century. The remaining ditches date to the later medieval period, however, at present it remains unclear as to the role of these two ditches with regards the settlement at Chichester. A N/S orientated linear feature dating to no earlier then the 1st century was encountered in in the N/E of the site suggesting that extramural activity is present in this area. The remainder of the deposits on site consisted of 19th century dump layers, pits and soakaways. These were sealed by a layer of 20th century hardcore and the associated concrete slab that forms the car park surface presently occupying the site.
