Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2016 at land off Fontwell Avenue, Fontwell, West Sussex. Three trenches were excavated. Following conjecture from a local resident based solely on observations of topographical features taken from Google Earth that a series of linear anomalies may represent the remains of former Roman villa farmstead, three evaluation trenches were excavated on the noted anomalies in this area of the site which had not been previously been subject to evaluation implemented in 2015. The evaluation did reveal evidence of Prehistoric activity within Trenches 1 and 2. Trench 1 contained a single gully which contained pottery of Late Bronze Age date. Trench 2 contained two pits of indeterminate function, which based on pottery recovered can be given a broad Prehistoric date, but which by inference to the gully in Trench 1, may also date to the Late Bronze Age period. The results of this evaluation conform to the results of the previous 2015 evaluation of the broader site which identified a low level of Prehistoric activity to be present on the site with noted Roman activity restricted to the presence of a single ditched feature within its northern extent. No Roman activity was revealed during the current phase of work, and on the basis of its results it is concluded that the aerial anomalies identified on the site do not relate to the remains of a former Roman villa farmstead, any potential presence for which within the site boundaries is considered highly unlikely given the cumulative evidence recorded by investigations to date
