Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and watching brief carried out by Archaeology South-East at Shoreham Adur Tidal Walls has successfully identified approximately seven Second World War structures situated on eastern periphery of Shoreham Airfield (also known as Brighton City Airport) and along the heavily defended Shoreham section of the Adur Stop Line on the west bank of the Adur estuary, fortified in 1940. The archaeological evaluation demonstrated that pre-fabricated hut bases and an area of hard-standing were strung out along the eastern perimeter of the airfield. Duckboarding from the interior of a possible breastwork was identified towards the north. Scrub clearance carried out as part of the evaluation enabled the identification of a hitherto unidentified pillbox at the north of the site with an adjoining anti-aircraft position. An intriguing open-sided structure possibly relating to the known adjacent rifle range was built into an earth bank. Concrete blocks that conceivably relate to the end of a row of pipe bombs were also exposed within the topsoil at the extreme north of the site. The investigation has added to what is already known about the site, attested by the extant structures including pillboxes, air-raid shelters and anti-aircraft gun positions along the defensive line and within the airfield. The earth bank and related brick structure are essentially undated, but pre date the Second World War.
