Experts working in Chichester’s Priory Park have uncovered the remains of a military causeway that would have led to the city’s 11th Century castle.

Last year, in addition to discovering the remains of the ditch that has become the focus of this year’s dig, the team uncovered the foundations of a building that was part of a medieval Franciscan friary.

James Kenny, Chichester District Council’s archaeologist, said: “This is an exciting discovery because this is the first time since the Middle Ages that people have been able to view what would have been a very impressive military defensive system.”
