Abstract:Recent recognition of a building stone, now named Lavant stone, has led to investigations of the quarry site, its history and the use of the stone. Lavant stone is a distinctive phosphatic chalk with fossils, particularly sharks' teeth. It was used in the later Roman period and extensive medieval use ranged from Chichester Cathedral and Boxgrove Priory to parish churches. The historical use of Lavant stone is considered, and the social and economic influences upon its distribution pattern and opportunities for further research are discussed.
Quarrying the Mixon Reef at Selsey, West Sussex , by David and Anne Bone, published 2014 in Sussex Archæological Collections (vol. 152, article) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 18617] & The Keep [LIB/508097] & S.A.S. library View Online
Abstract:The Mixon Reef off Selsey Bill has attracted a number of theories about its historic use. Observations of scuba divers have encouraged ideas of the reef being the site of a Roman fort, whilst medieval maps suggest an 'ancient city' on the reef. These suggestions have become accepted as fact, although never critically examined. The reef is known to have been quarried for building stone, although the circumstances surrounding its cessation have never been adequately investigated. Documents preserved in The National Archives have verified the historic accounts of the Mixon Reef as a quarry, and the prohibition of quarrying by the Admiralty in 1827. This information, together with geological and archaeological knowledge of the region, allows a new understanding of the Mixon Reef and the exploitation of its stone.
