Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was appointed by Terence O'Rourke Ltd, on behalf of Countryside Properties (UK) Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief at Land West of Tangmere, West Sussex. The Site is the subject of a proposed development currently in the pre-application stages. The watching brief was carried out following advice provided to Terence O'Rourke Ltd by James Kenny, Chichester District Archaeological Officer, and comprised monitoring and recording of a geotechnical investigation. The watching brief forms part of a staged approach to understanding the archaeological implications of the proposed development. The geotechnical investigation was carried out by CC Ground Investigations Ltd for Peter Brett Associates LLP. The watching brief was carried between the 11th and 14th of March 2019. The geotechnical investigations revealed a general deposit sequence for the Site, with a relatively shallow topsoil coverage and an underlying geology consistent with what is known of the Pleistocene / early Holocene sequence in the vicinity. Though no significant archaeological remains or features were observed during the monitored works, which, by their nature, afford limited scope for revealing archaeological remains, there is potential for these to survive across the Site; no significant evidence for truncation of the site and, thereby, loss of its archaeological potential, was observed |
