A watching brief and subsequent excavation by the Field Archaeology Unit, University
College London, in advance of development of land to the west of Burgess Hill revealed
a number of Romano-British features. Evidence of Mesolithic and Late Neolithic/Early
Bronze Age activity was established through the surface collection of a small
assemblage of worked flint. A single blade/burin of Upper Palaeolithic date was
also located. Romano-British features, which were predominantly of late 4th-century
date included a ditch with a large pottery assemblage and a probable corn-drying oven.
