Abstract:		 During two seasons of fieldwork at Ounces Barn, Boxgrove, the Field Archaeology Unit excavated and recorded the eastern terminal of the Devil's Ditch, a small area of a late Iron Age enclosure and numerous features of the Romano-British period. In addition, artefacts of the early and middle Bronze Age were retrieved. Pottery from the Devil's Ditch indicates that it was starting to be infilled during the first ten to thirty years after the Roman invasion; construction of this feature in the late pre-Roman Iron Age seems likely. Moulds for the production of coin blanks were recovered from the late Iron Age enclosure ditch. Its relationship to the putative territorial oppidum represented by the Chichester Entrenchments is discussed. Romano-British occupation is represented by several ditched enclosures, pits, post-holes and gravelled areas. Dateable material indicates that activity was at its peak in the first 150 years after the conquest. However, artefacts dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries were recovered in sufficient quantities to indicate the longevity of several features and to suggest that activity continued into the latter half of the Romano-British period.
