Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Ramboll UK on behalf of the Royal Navy Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at the RNLI Station, Selsey, West Sussex, PO20 0DJ, centred on NGR SZ 86184 92781. The site is proposed as the location of a new on-shore boathouse. The evaluation was undertaken from 11th to 12th August 2014. The evaluation followed the compilation of a Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) summarising the known archaeology in the vicinity of the site and a programme of geophysical survey which revealed a roughly east-west aligned anomaly with a north-south aligned return interpreted as a building associated with possible floor surfaces. As a result of the DBA and the geophysics, the Archaeology Officer of Chichester District Council called for a trial trench evaluation to assess the presence or absence and extent of any buried archaeological remains that may exist within the site which may be impacted by development. Four trenches were excavated across the site and no archaeological remains of significance were identified. The possible structure revealed in the geophysics was revealed as a modern concrete footing associated with a barn which local tradition recalled as being on the site (though not shown on historical mapping). |
