Abstract:
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an office development within Crawley, a town which was presumed to have been a 13th century new town. Medieval features had been recorded at several sites in the vicinity; discoveries had included evidence of ironworking. The foundations of a 16th or 17th century building had also been found, and a Romano-British ironworking site lay some distance to the south-east of the town centre. During the evaluation, a former watercourse, a Victorian culvert and the foundations of buildings known from cartographic sources were revealed, and modern truncation was noted. A high concentration of pits, post-holes and ditches containing iron-working slag of probable late medieval to post-medieval date was also recorded. It was concluded that the survival of these features at depths of less than 600mm below the present tarmac surface suggested that any groundworks to this level or below would probably damage or destroy the archaeological remains.
