Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (West) was commissioned by Sunninghill Construction Co Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Unit 7, Chichester Business Park, Tangmere, West Sussex (SU 91098 06556). The investigation was designed to evaluate the archaeological potential of the study site, ahead of development. This report concerns the results of the archaeological evaluation, which was carried out between the 8th and 12th of June 2015. A consistent depositional sequence was identified across all six trenches, with an average depth of cover of 0.33m. Three archaeological features were identified; an undated linear feature, a linear feature with pottery dating to the late Bronze-Age and a cremation pit containing an urned cremation (of a late Bronze-Age date). The archaeological features identified are indicative of later prehistoric settlement in the wider area surrounding the site. However the remains do not amount to enough evidence to suggest that there might be a settlement or significant activity on the study site itself. Furthermore any remains that could possibly be present on site are likely to have been heavily truncated by extensive modern disturbance. |
