James Kenny, an archaeologist at the Chichester District Council, said they rarely found Roman buildings that survived so long and intact. "What is remarkable about this finding is that it survived more than 1,000 years in a densely populated city. The only reason they exist is because it is under a park where no other buildings are built. " , Kenny said.

Geophysicist David Staveley discovered ancient work using radar equipment with the consent of Kenny, who felt Chichester Park was more likely to find the most ruins. After the results of the scan, Kenny and the local archaeological association excavated a small corner in Priory Park and confirmed the discovery that surprised the experts.

"This place may have been one of the most prosperous cities of Rome with houses worth millions of dollars today. Two houses have walls with surrounding walls. There is also a large and long building with a circular corner and we are curious to find out what this is , " said Kenny.

Experts believe that houses built on a street initially were destroyed after the reservoir was built in World War II park. The scanned image also revealed another Roman-era moth in the east below the park floor.

The county council is seeking funding to conduct more thorough excavations."After completing the excavation work, we will leave the building in its current state. We will create a three-dimensional image of the building and information to provide to people in the long term , " Kenny said.
