Talk: Fall In, Ghosts – Archaeological Investigations at the Training Camp at Cooden, East Sussex

Worthing Archaeological Society, Worthing
Con Ainsworth Memorial Lecture by Simon Stevens, University College London, Institute of Archaeology, Senior Archaeologist/Project Officer:  
Opened in September 1914, Cooden Camp was used throughout the First World War. It trained the Sussex lads who were involved in The Battle of the Boar’s Head at Richebourg-I’Avoué in France on 30 June 1916, when the three battalions would suffer some 1,100 casualties.
Prior to a housing development on part of the former camp, full-scale archaeological excavation between September 2024 and January 2025 revealed a variety of archaeological deposits and artefacts relating to day-to-day life at Cooden Camp.
Members have free entry and visitors are asked to make a donation of £4 to the society.
