Excavation at Pegler Way has extended the evidence of medieval burgage plot boundaries recovered from an adjacent site on the Crawley High Street Relief Road and added more evidence of the local disposal of iron-working waste, although again the primary working site has not been identified. A rare find of a wooden scutching knife suggests flax processing. The site appears to have been used only for a short span, from the late 12th to the 14th century.
