Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East carried out an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed managed realignment works at Cobnor Estate, Chidham, West Sussex. The work revealed significant remains from three broad periods: Bronze Age, mid-late Iron Age and Post-medieval. A well-preserved Bronze Age burnt mound, measuring c. 10m x 12m was recorded and preserved in situ. Evidence for mid-late Iron Age salt-working was identified, consisting primarily of a briquetage spread on a buried land surface; a possibly associated hearth or kiln was also recorded. An extensive area of possibly post-medieval hard-standing probably represented a hard for beaching small boats. |
