Abstract:		 Monitoring of the site required three separate site visits. Excavation of the majority of the foundation trenches was observed in progress whilst the remainder were observed post-excavation. These were dug using a 360 degree mechanical excavator with a toothed bucket. The sections of the trenches were carefully examined for any evidence of ancient activity, such as pits or ditches. The removed spoil was also checked for any stray, unstratified, artefacts. The site is located upon the boundary of three geological beds; Wealden clay, Atherfield clay and an area of river gravels/alluvium. It therefore seems likely that the two layers identified above (dirty yellow brown sand/clay and yellow brown sandy clay with sandstone) represent the interface of the different beds and are entirely ‘natural’ in origin. The absence of any subsoil or substantial topsoil also suggest a previous levelling of the site, probably during construction of the original school buildings. Any archaeological material that did exist would almost certainly have been destroyed in this phase. It is therefore recommended that no further archaeological work is required in respect of this site.
