Abstract:The presence of a Saxon settlement at Selsey (other than that of St. Wilfrid, which is generally supposed to have been in the eastern half of the Peninsula) has recently been revealed by coastal erosion west of the remains of Medmerry Farm, (O.S. 6 in. LXXXI, N.W.). The site is on low ground, only a few feet above the marshy land which lies behind, and the Saltings on the east.

A New Roman Inscription from Chichester, by Miss G. M. White, published October 1935 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 15 issue 4, article, pp.461-464) View Online
Abstract:Trial excavations on the site of a new post office on the north side of West Street, Chichester, were conducted by Mr. F. Cottrill in 1934 on behalf of H.M. Office of Works, and a report on these will appear in the Sussex Archaeological Collections. During the subsequent preparation of the ground for the new building, the site has been watched, with the permission of H.M. Office of Works, by Mr. W. Ll. White, to whom I am also indebted for the photographs on pl. lxxii, taken under great difficulties. Thanks are also due to Mr. Smith of H.M. Office of Works, and Messrs. Privett for their zeal in preserving the remains.

The Chichester Amphitheatre: Preliminary Excavations, by Miss G. M. White, published April 1936 in The Antiquaries Journal (vol. 16 issue 2, article, pp.145-159) View Online
Abstract:The discovery of the Roman amphitheatre at Chichester was made by a local resident, Mr. Raymond Carlyon-Britton, to whom the writer is indebted for permission to use that knowledge.
Believing that an amphitheatre would be a normal adjunct of a Roman town of the size and importance of Chichester, Mr. Carlyon-Britton began an examination of the outskirts of the city in 1934, with the result that, early in 1935, the writer was shown the site which has since proved to be that of the amphitheatre. It lies outside the city on the SE. (fig. 1), just over 200 yards from the walls and divided from them by the now covered course of the Lavant stream, and about 250 yards from the East Gate, where Stane Street branches off north-eastwards. The line of approach from the East Gate to the amphitheatre has not been determined; a road may have led to it directly from the East Gate, or branched off, beyond the Lavant stream, from the road which no doubt ran eastwards along the coast.
