Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), a division of University College London Institute of Archaeology Centre for Applied Archaeology were commissioned by Vinci Construction Ltd. to undertake an excavation during the construction of a new museum at Tower Street, Chichester, West Sussex. (centred NGR SU 8592 0493). The work consisted of the excavation of an area measuring c. 137 square metres in order to re-expose the masonry elements of a Roman Thermae previously investigated by Alec Down in 1975, for display in the new museum. The elements of the Thermae revealed within the excavation area include parts of the northern external wall of the bath complex, a flue or stokery and the remains of the internal hypocaust system, as well as areas of collapse and demolition that attest to the demise of the building (Fig. 4). Monitoring of groundworks in Tower Street to the west of the site identified further Roman masonry, though whether this constitutes evidence for an additional building in the vicinity or merely part of the Thermae remains unknown. Post-Roman activity includes a medieval rubbish pit and a chalk foundation that may form part of a late medieval building excavated by Down. Post-medieval occupation is exclusively of 18th19th century date and later and includes a cellared building fronting Tower Street, with associated cess pit and back yard, as well as par of the National School which stood on the site until 1975.
