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. -

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten. -

Cover photograph: Low Weald Pond, Lee Brady Report production: February 2009 Consultation: March 2009 SUMMARY Ponds are an important freshwater habitat and play a key role in maintaining biodiversity at the landscape level. However, they are vulnerable to environmental degradation and there is evidence that, at a national level, pond quality is declining. -
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. -
Chapter 2 Formative Influences
Chapter- 2 Formative Influences South Downs: Landscape Character Assessment October 2020 Chapter 2 Formative Influences Physical Influences Geology and Topography 2.1 The South Downs is dominated by a spine of Chalk that stretches from Winchester in the west to the cliffs of Beachy Head in the east. To the north of the Chalk the older sandy rocks of the Lower Greensand and soft shales of the Wealden Clays are exposed. The Chalk is separated from the Lower Greensand by a belt of low-lying ground marked by the Gault and a ‘terrace’ of Upper Greensand that lies at the foot of the Chalk scarp. To the south of the chalk the younger Tertiary rocks overlie the Chalk. The solid geology within in South Downs National Park can be viewed on the South Downs National Park LCA online map. The different rock formations are considered in chronological order below. The description includes the development of each rock formation, its composition, and its influence on the topography and character of the South Downs. A topographical map is also available on the LCA online map. Cretaceous rocks Wealden Series 2.2 The oldest rocks in the South Downs are those of the low lying clays of the Wealden Series that are exposed along the northern boundary of the study area. During the early part of the Cretaceous period, some 140 million years ago, a lake covered the area and it was during this time that the Wealden Clay was laid down. It consists of shales and mudstones with outcrops of siltstones, sandstones, shelly limestones and clay ironstones. -

FAO: Tom Bell Neighbourhood Planning Officer Chichester District Council East Pallant House Chichester West Sussex
FAO: Tom Bell Neighbourhood Planning Officer Chichester District Council East Pallant House Chichester West Sussex 2nd September 2013 Dear Mr Bell, Kirdford Neighbourhood Plan – Publicity of Proposal (Regulation 16) Thank you for agreeing to receive all representations on the Kirdford Neighbourhood Plan and passing these to the Examiner of the Plan Proposal. Please treat this correspondence as the formal representation by the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) on the Plan. As you will be aware, SDNPA is the Local Planning Authority for approximately a third of Kirdford Parish. This coincides with the southernmost part of the Parish and includes the small settlements of Strood Green and Hawkhurst Court. The Mens Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is a significant designation applying to a large proportion of the Parish within the National Park. I have grouped our outstanding issues in this representation, identifying policy numbers where appropriate. As a summary, it is considered that Kirdford Parish Council has produced a neighbourhood plan capable of meeting the Basic Conditions. The comments relate to the structure of the document, errors of fact, the proportionality of a small number of general policies and suggestions of additional criteria or amendments to criteria to strengthen the robustness of policy. SDNPA has not reviewed the site allocations as these do not impact on the National Park. Consideration has, however, been given to whether the Plan satisfactorily addresses housing need in the Parish, since any significant level of unmet need could place pressure for development on the National Park. As a matter of record, it is pleasing the Parish Council Steering Group has sought to engage with the Authority and Officers in the production of this important document.
