Abstract:		 An archaeological strip, map and sample excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in January and February 2016 at Goddards' Green, Burgess Hill, West Sussex. The excavation area was located in the south-western part of the development site, targeted on Roman features identified in a previous evaluation of the site (CA 2015a). The excavation identified archaeological features dating to the Early to Middle Roman and late medieval to early post-medieval periods. The Early to Middle Roman activity comprised boundary ditches, pits, postholes and ovens. A large assemblage of pottery was recovered, the majority is broadly Roman, with more closely dated pottery forms suggesting an Early to Middle Roman date for the assemblage as a whole. It comprises mostly locally manufactured East Sussex grog-tempered ware, with identifiable forms including jars and coarseware dishes/bowls, and is consistent with assemblages found in association with rural settlements. Plant macrofossils recovered from the ditches indicate that crop processing was taking place nearby. Late medieval to early post-medieval activity comprised the excavation of four kilns. No artefacts were recovered from these features and radiocarbon dating was undertaken to confirm the dating of these features. Large amounts of bracken and beech charcoal was identified within the bulk soil samples, suggesting the use of these kilns for potash production, as part of the wider potash/lye industry in the area.
