Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), a division of University College London Institute of Archaeology Centre for Applied Archaeology were commissioned by Acehson Construction Ltd to undertake Phase 1 of an ongoing programme of archaeological evaluation at the former Rousillon Barracks, Chichester,, West Sussex (centred NGR SU 8610 0635). A total of 10 trenches, totalling some 307m of trenching, were excavated across the site to reveal the underlying natural Gravel Head Deposits at a maximum height of 31.39m OD in the northeast of the site, falling away to 30.89m OD to the west and 30.08m OD to the south. Very little evidence of any activity pre-dating the use of the site as a barracks was identified during the course of the investigation, although a single broadly-east-west aligned ditch may represent evidence for land division on the site prior to the later 18th century. A variety of features related to the Rousillon Barracks were found, most of which may be equated with structures shown on 19th and 20th century Ordnance Survey maps. |
