Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology during the installation of a replacement foul sewer and combined overflow. The route of the pipeline was within an archaeologically sensitive area and the watching brief was required by the Archaeological Planning Officer for West Sussex County Council. No archaeological features were observed but a series of alluvial layers, assumed to relate to the nearby Bradbourne Stream, were recorded. The earliest datable layers contained pottery from the 12th/13th centuries, and two wooden stakes were also recorded within the alluvium, which may indicate the presence of wooden structures such as revetments associated with the Bradbourne. Slightly later, but within the same period, the are may have been drained or the stream banks reinforced to prevent extensive flooding, indicating an intensification of land use. The finds recovered were mainly of domestic refuse, but also indicative of the presence nearby of light industry, such as tanning and horn working, and of the gradual encroachment of settlement into the area.
