Description

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Churchill Retirement Living to undertake an archaeological evaluation comprising four machine dug trenches on land at Upper Bognor Road, Bognor Regis, West Sussex (hereafter referred to as the ‘Site’). The Site, centred on National Grid Reference 493872 99725, is proposed for redevelopment to provide retirement accommodation.
Given the site’s position it was presumed that the site may contain significant archaeological deposits relating to the Mesolithic period.
Independently of the Wessex Archaeology evaluation a test pit was machine excavated and recorded by Mark Roberts on behalf of the Boxgrove Environs Project. The purpose of the test pit was to determine the presence/absence of raised beach deposits relating to Quaternary marine regression.
