Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Bexhill High School, Bexhill, East Sussex during unexploded ordnance (UXO) mitigation works. A total of 116 potential UXO targets were investigated by means a combination of machine- and hand-excavation. Natural geology, comprising Hastings Beds, was encountered at a maximum height of 35.79m AOD in the southeast corner of the site to 32.50m to the north.. This was overlain by a thin, intermittently present subsoil horizon, in turn overlain by the topsoil of the site. The survival of subsoil in the lowest area of the site alone is considered to result from levelling of the site for use as playing fields. No archaeological features or deposits were observed during the groundworks and the only artefacts observed comprised modern ferrous objects and ceramic. A geophysical survey of the site was undertaken on completion of the ordnance clearance works, using a Bartington Grad Fluxgate Gradiometer. A number of anomalies were successfully detected but most were modern in origin, resulting either from ferrous material or installations in the ground related to the previous use of the site as a sports field. The remaining anomalies may be of archaeological origin but further intrusive fieldwork would be required to determine this.
