Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology at the UCL Institute of Archaeology, were commissioned by Giffords, on behalf of West Sussex County Council, to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Sir Robert Woodard Academy, Lancing (NGR 517580 105250) in advance of the redevelopment of the site . The work took place from the 24th of August to the 1st September 2009. A total of 34 trenches were excavated by machine across the site. Brickearth Head Deposits were encountered at a maximum height of 15.68m AOD to the north of the site, falling away to 13.24m AOD to the south. A total of 10 features were recorded during the investigation, including ditches or gullies, postholes and a possible surface. The archaeological investigation succeeded in its general aim of ascertaining the character, quality and degree of survival of archaeological remains on the site. Although only a small quantity of features were encountered a minority of these produced interesting prehistoric material. Trenches 21a and 21b produced the most significant activity and an interesting cobbled feature was encountered within Trench 25. These areas could certainly be considered for Stage 2 mitigation as further characterization of these features would seem prudent.
