Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to conduct a detailed gradiometer survey over land off Gravelye Lane, Lindfield near Haywards Heath in West Sussex, ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises pasture fields to the east of Gravelye Lane, approximately 2km east of the centre of Haywards Heath and occupies the east-facing slope of a low ridge. The gradiometer survey was conducted using a Bartington Grad 601-2 dual fluxgate gradiometer instrument and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with several modern services. Two parallel ditch-like anomalies were identified north of the centre of the survey area; they are consistent with a former field boundary or track, although it is not clear from what period they date and are therefore considered to be of probable archaeological interest. Several linear anomalies have been detected that are of possible archaeological interest, although they are largely oriented parallel with nearby drainage and other agricultural trends, suggesting that they may be of a similar origin. Numerous isolated pit-like anomalies have been noted throughout the dataset and, whilst an archaeological interpretation cannot be ruled out entirely, many are likely to be the result of near-surface natural or geological features. The central portion of the survey area exhibits parallel linear trends typical of agricultural activity. In places these responses are consistent with the remnants of ridge and furrow and in others more characteristic of drainage trenches.
