Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Marringdean Road, Billingshurst, West Sussex. Though there was an absence of subsoil the natural horizon appeared intact and untruncated beneath good thicknesses of topsoil. Late post-medieval pottery was recovered from the topsoil in the eastern part of the site and one undiagnostic worked flint was recovered -also from topsoil. The evaluation has revealed only very limited archaeological remains within the site. These comprised a post-medieval ditch that probably represents an original field boundary before the railway was built and a large clay oven of unknown date within Trench 8. Much of the previous geophysical survey results remain unaccounted for or are the consequence of post-medieval land-drains filled with deposits similar to the surrounding clay natural. Thus they have given the appearance of linear features filled with archaeological deposits. The only significant feature to be related to the geophysics comprised the clay oven that showed as a large thermo-remnant anomaly. The samples taken from the undated oven in Trench 8 contain charcoal, bone, burnt clay and magnetised material but the charcoal fragments are too limited and too small to provide identifications or for scientific dating purposes.
