Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Crawley Borough Council to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land on land south of the A264, Pease Pottage, Crawley, West Sussex in advance of the proposed cemetery development on the site. A total of nine evaluation trenches were excavated. All trenches revealed a similar sequence of natural firm mottled brown-orange/ brown-yellow silt sand clay with occasional fragmented sandstone inclusions at heights of between 137.34m AOD in the south-west trenches, and 130.32m AOD in the north-east trenches. This was overlain by a topsoil deposit of friable dark brown silt. No visible subsoil was detected. The investigation has clarified that the anomalies recorded during the geophysical survey were predominantly non-archaeological and likely to be a result of geological variations or recent disturbance within the topsoil. It is likely that these near-surface responses may have masked the underlying archaeology. Six of the nine excavated trenches were devoid of archaeological features. Four features were identified. These were a large ditch or pit of probable 17th century date and an undated north-south aligned ditch recorded across 3 trenches. A small assemblage of finds of 19th to 20th century date was recovered from the topsoil. No prehistoric, Roman or medieval material was encountered.
