Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by Atkins Heritage to undertake an archaeological evaluation prior to the installation of a Southern Water Pipeline in Hardham, West Sussex (NGR TQ 034 178 to TQ 045 167). The work was carried out from the 22nd to the 26th September 2008. Seven trenches were excavated to an accumulative length of 186m. Each trench was 2m wide and the depth of natural geology varied in each with a maximum height of 9.72m OD encountered in the northwest corner of site sloping down to 1.75m OD in the southeast by the River Arun. Seven trenches were machine-excavated under archaeological supervision in order to investigate and record the historic environment impacted by the pipeline scheme with a particular aim of determining whether any Roman remains exist at the current road junctions along the scheme and whether any archaeology survives close to the River Arun. With the exception of a Late Iron Age/early Roman pit in one of the trenches, no other archaeological deposits or features were uncovered. No archaeological remains were encountered close to the River Arun, but mixed alluvial deposits containing finds from 18th to 20th centuries were seen to a maximum depth of 900mm and a palaeochannel or stream bed was uncovered within Trench 1. A few unstratified finds from the 17th to 19th centuries were revealed within the topsoil across site.
