Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Border Archaeology has been commissioned by South East Water to undertake a Rapid Appraisal of the proposed Barcombe Water Treatment Works to St Francis Service Reservoir Mains Renewal Scheme, in advance of the proposed installation of a water mains pipeline crossing the Bevern Stream and extending through fields to the south-east of the village of South Chailey, East Sussex. The potential for encountering evidence of prehistoric activity has been assessed as Low to Moderate. Although evidence for prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the route is slight, there is potential, where the pipeline route crosses the Bevern Stream, to encounter alluvial deposits with potential to contain well-preserved palaeoenvironmental material relating to changing environmental conditions and land use dating back to early prehistory. The potential for encountering evidence of Romano-British activity has been assessed as Low to Moderate. Although there are no recorded sites or finds of this period in the immediate vicinity of the route, evidence for Romano-British settlement and industrial activity (including ironworking and pottery kiln sites) has been recorded in the wider landscape crossed by the Bevern Stream. The archaeological potential of the route, in terms of medieval archaeology, has been assessed as Low to Moderate. Although recorded evidence of medieval activity in close proximity to the pipeline is slight, a number of medieval settlement sites and a pottery kiln site have been identified in the wider landscape traversed by the route. The potential for encountering evidence of post-medieval activity has been assessed as Low.
