  • CDAS – Chairman's Monthly Letter – March 2020 Fieldwork We Still Plan to Do the Geophysical Survey at Fishbourne Once
    CDAS – Chairman’s Monthly Letter – March 2020 Fieldwork We still plan to do the geophysical survey at Fishbourne once the weather improves and the field starts to dry out. Coastal Monitoring Following the visit to Medmerry West in January we made a visit to Medmerry East. Recent storms had made a big change to the landscape. As on our last visit to the west side it was possible to walk across the breach at low tide. Some more of the Coastguard station has been exposed. However one corner has now disappeared. It was good that Hugh was able to create the 3D Model when he did. We found what looks like a large fish trap with two sets of posts running in a V shape, each arm being about 25 metres long. The woven hurdles were clearly visible. Peter Murphy took a sample of the timber in case there is an opportunity for radiocarbon dating. We plan to return to the site in March to draw and record the structure. When we have decided on a date for this work I will let Members know. Condition Assessment – Thorney Island The annual Condition Assessment of the WW2 sites on Thorney Island will be on Tuesday 10th March, meeting at 09:30 at the junction of Thorney Road and Thornham Lane (SU757049). If you would like to join us and want to bring a car onto the base you need to tell us in advance, so please email the make, model, colour and registration number of your car to [email protected] by Friday 6 March.

  • Roman – AD 43-410
    Roman – AD 43-410 Roman material is scattered throughout the AONB, with – as might be expected – a concentration near Fishbourne Palace that lies on the border of the AONB (Fig 12). The Roman invasion of AD 43 resulted in major changes in social and economic conditions as well as changes in technology. It represents the start of one of the most dynamic and distinctive episodes in the history of South-East England. The location of the landing spot has been the subject of debate, with Richborough in Kent favoured by the ‘traditional view,’ although locations in the Chichester/Solent area have also been suggested. Arguments supporting Sussex/Hampshire landings include: • The Roman desire to restore King Verica to his Atrebatic kingdom located in parts of the modern counties of Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire; • The presence along this part of the south coast of safe harbours; • The advantages from the Roman point of view of starting their campaign in friendly territory where they could perhaps rely on safe disembarkment and local support; (Rudling 2003). However, there is no definite archaeological evidence from Sussex for the invasion itself. The official reason in the Roman period given by Dio Cassius for the invasion was the expulsion of the invaders of King Verica’s territory, who fled to Rome. Martin Henig (1998, 2002), who has suggested that it was more a question of ‘Roman liberation’ rather than conquest, said that Britain’s Romanised southern rulers may have welcomed the arrival of the Romans and profited from it afterwards. This point of view seems supported by the absence of contemporary forts in the area.

  • Secrets of the High Woods Research Agenda
    Secrets of the High Woods Research Agenda Alice Thorne and Rebecca Bennett June 2015 Introduction and Purpose The “Secrets of the High Woods” project is a unique opportunity to investigate the “Wooded Estates”1 of West Sussex and a part of Hampshire using airborne laser scanning, field survey and archival research. Whilst generous funding from the SDNPA and HLF has made this 3-year project possible, it is clear that the impact of new data and methods used as part of the project will be far more than could possibly be achieved in the project’s lifetime or budget. This document has been produced both to help prioritise and clarify research during the project and to highlight potential for partnership work in order to more successfully understand the historic and natural environment in the area. The document has two parts, starting with an assessment of the current archaeological knowledge in the vicinity of the project area. This provides context for the second section that details a series of research themes grouped under three broad headings; Continuity and Change, People in the Landscape and the Woodland Resource. These themes by necessity interlink, but are set out separately to reflect the structure of the project and the likely interests of research partners. ALS Point cloud, Arundel Castle 1 “Wooded Estates” character area is defined in the South Downs Integrated Landscape Character Assessment as “A distinctive ridge of chalk dominated by large woodland blocks and estates in the central part of the South Downs extending from the Hampshire/West Sussex border in the west to Worthing in the east.” For full description see http://www.southdowns.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/201212/LCT-B.pdf 1 The Historic Environment of the Project Area The Modern Landscape Context The landscape of the South Downs attracted much attention from archaeologists in the 19th and 20th centuries (Brandon, 1999: 44).

  • Western Downs Green Yew Provides a Colour Contrast in Summer and Autumn to the Lighter Greens and Golds of the Beech
    Overall Character THE WEST SUSSEX LANDSCAPE Land Management Guidelines This large Character Area extends from West Harting Down and Stansted Forest in the west to Arundel Park in the east. With its enclosed valleys, wooded chalk uplands and a densely wooded escarpment, the landscape in many places conveys a strong sense of enclosure, seclusion and remoteness. The ridgeline gives panoramic views over the downland itself and the hilly sandstone country to the north. Views within the area are more limited except from the higher ground, due to the enclosed nature of the valley landscapes and high tree cover. Prominent beech and mixed woodlands, together with swathes of conifer Sheet SD1 forest are interwoven with large sweeping arable fields and grassland in the rolling plateau and ridges. The steep slopes of the dry and intermittent stream valleys and on the escarpment typically carry mature beech and yew hangers, which appear as a backcloth from the lower ground. The ancient yew hanger of Kingley Vale near West Stoke is particularly distinctive where the dark trees dominate the slopes of the valley. Where mixed hangers occur, the dark Western Downs green yew provides a colour contrast in summer and autumn to the lighter greens and golds of the beech. The changing colours of the beech woodlands and South Downs cereal crops provide a strong seasonal element in the landscape. Much of the area comes under the management of large estates and contains notable areas of historic parkland. The area is lightly settled with valley villages, farms and houses. Extensive tracts of this secluded countryside area are particularly tranquil.
