Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during construction works associated with a new roundabout at a site which lay to the south of Billingshurst, astride the present A29 road. Billingshurst had formed along the line of Stane Street, the London to Chichester Roman road. Much of the line of the road at this point had been the same as the existing A29, and it was thought possible that traces of the Roman road may have survived under the modern road. Excavations had been carried out at two redundant sections of the main A29. These were thought likely to have been in use into medieval/post-medieval times. On the site of the southern roundabout, a number of magnetic anomalies had been recorded during a geophysical survey, whilst a total of fourteen worked flints had been recovered during an evaluation. During the watching brief, no in situ archaeological features or deposits were observed, and only one artefact, a prehistoric flint flake, was recovered. The total lack of evidence for the Roman road suggested that all traces of it had been destroyed during modern road-building operations, when all made ground deposits had clearly been removed down to the natural subsoil to provide a firm base for the existing road.
