Abstract:		 A total of 39 trenches were excavated, equating to a 2-3% sample of the proposed development area with a 3% sample of eastern areas and a 2% sample of the remaining areas, as agreed with the County Archaeologist. All the trenches measured 30m long and nine were 2m wide, with the remainder measuring 1.8m wide. One trench (Trench 1) was targeted on a curved geophysical anomaly, whilst other trenches provided a representative coverage of the ‘blank’ areas of the geophysical survey (Fig. 2). Five proposed trenches were not excavated due to woodland cover (Plate 1; Trenches 38–40, 44) or the balancing pond (Trench 32). All trenches were excavated using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket under the supervision of an experienced archaeologist. Machining continued in spits down to the top of the undisturbed natural geology. Any possible features were investigated by hand excavation. In June 2019 Oxford Archaeology undertook a third phase of archaeological evaluation to the north-east of Goddards Green, Burgess Hill, West Sussex, as part of a proposed new industrial development. The evaluation was centred on TQ 28775 20367. A total of 39 trenches were dug to investigate the archaeological potential of the site, targeting possible features that were identified in the previous geophysical survey. The evaluation revealed no archaeological features and the geophysical anomalies were shown to be the result of variations in the natural geology. The evaluation has shown the site to be of low archaeological potential.
