Abstract:		 This article focuses on the significance of hydrological factors in the contextualisation of a Bronze Age landscape. The former presence or absence of water is crucially linked to the inhabitation pattern of Bronze Age communities. This is especially relevant in southern lowland England in the later Bronze Age period, due to the emergence of a bounded agricultural landscape containing structural evidence of fields, droveways, burnt mounds, cremation cemeteries and roundhouses (Yates 2007). The study focuses on one such enclave (Dunkin 2012) and comprises the East/West Sussex Coastal Plain and abutting downland block (Figs. 1 and 2). The integration of hydrological and archaeological data has been enabled by 20 years of developer-funded archaeology and has provided evidence of this Bronze Age infrastructure. Furthermore, recent research by the author has identified that dated burnt mounds, accumulations of burnt or fire-crazed stones, ash, and charcoal, may be important markers in the landscape of previous hydrological regimes.
