Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. to undertake an archaeological watching brief on geotechnical investigations aimed at informing the proposed foundation design of the proposed development at Fordwater School, Summersdale Road, Chichester, West Sussex. The work comprised the monitoring of two test pits and four bore holes, all of which were devoid of archaeological finds and features. Natural deposits of mid orange and mid yellow-orange clay with abundant flint inclusions were recorded in all four boreholes at depths of between 0.6m and 1.25m below existing ground level. Three of the four bore holes appeared to contain an intact subsoil horizon which would suggest that areas of the site outside of the existing school buildings may be relatively intact, particularly the east of the site towards the scheduled monument. Borehole 4, to the west of the site did not appear to contain a subsoil horizon suggesting that the area which comprises the front of the school, furthest from the scheduled monument may be the most disturbed. No archaeological finds or features were observed during the geotechnical investigations. However, the investigations were very limited and dispersed in nature so do not preclude archaeological finds and features being present elsewhere within the site area.
