Chichester Harbour

Chichester Harbour is the eastern most of the three major Harbours feeding into the Solent. Administratively it straddles the Hampshire/ West Sussex boarder. The Harbour is run by the Chichester Harbour Conservancy.

The HWTMA's work in Chichester Harbour was prompted by an initiative between Chichester Harbour Conservancy, Sussex Archaeological Society, Portsmouth University and the HWTMA, to investigate the archaeology of the Harbour. The desired research work has since fed into a successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid which will enable a structured and funded approach to the resource.

Archaeological work has included geophysical survey and intertidal fieldwork and recording. This has been aimed at enhancing the Sites and Monuments Record for the Harbour and tackling research on specific sites and areas.
