Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East were commissioned by Orion Heritage, on behalf of their client, to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land at Westergate, West Sussex (NGR SU 93580 04670). A total of 17 archaeological trenches were excavated across the site to reveal the underlying natural sandy clay at a maximum height of 9.80m AOD in the south-western corner of the site (Trench 15), falling away to 9.36m AOD in the south-east corner of the site (Trench 17) and 9.17m AOD in the north-east corner (Trench 4). A small quantity of residual struck flint suggest some activity of Neolithic to Late Bronze Age date in the vicinity of the site. However, much of the archaeological activity recorded appears to be related to a large sub-rectangular enclosure of probable Middle-Late Iron Age date, with a range of internal associated internal features indicative of occupation, including pits ditches, gullies and postholes. Medieval activity is limited to a single pit of possible 13th-14th century date. Post-medieval features comprise field boundary ditches, some of which are present on some century Ordnance Survey maps.
