Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July and August 2014 at Whitehouse Farm Chichester. The evaluation comprised of the excavation of two trial trenches measuring 45m by 1.6m (Trench 1) and 25m by 1.6m (Trench 2) respectively. Within Trench 1 an east to west aligned ditch was recorded from which two sherds of Romano-British pottery dating to the late 2nd to 4th centuries along with Roman ceramic building material was recovered. At the southern end of both trenches a cut which has been identified as a World War II tank trap was recorded. It is likely that the tank trap may have impacted upon the survival of earlier archaeological remains relating to the Hook Dyke or postulated line of the Roman road that issued out of the Roman West Gate at Chichester. However, the east to west ditch from which Romano-British pottery was recovered could be remnant evidence of a drainage ditch associated with the Roman Road. |
