Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted in the grounds of Littlehampton Academy, Hill Road, Littlehampton, West Sussex, BN17 6DQ (NGR TQ 03301 02762). The work was carried out between 11th October and 6th November 2010 by Archaeology South-East on behalf of their client Balfour Beatty Construction Southern Limited prior to a planning decision being made regarding plans to build a new academy school, access road, car parks, outdoor spaces and sports pitches. A total of 28 trenches measuring a total of 540 metres in length were excavated in order to assess the archaeological potential of the site. According to the British Geological Survey 1:50,000 series map for the area (sheet 317 / 332 - Chichester and Bognor), the site lies on Aeolian deposits of Brickearth which overlie upper chalk; this was identified within the school playing fields at between 7.05m AOD and 5.99m AOD and generally sloped gradually down from the south to the north. The natural was also located to the south of the school where the proposed access road is located at between 7.59m AOD in the north of this area and 4.91m AOD in the southern part close to East Street. In the southern part of the school playing fields site three late post-medieval field ditches were identified and a fourth, undated ditch was identified to the north of these. An area of localised truncation was observed in the middle of the current Academy buildings. No significant archaeological features were encountered; however a number of residual struck flint flakes and fragments of pottery were recovered. In the approach road area of the site a number of ditches were identified that may form a single property or field boundary with adjacent early post medieval pits.
