Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bignor Farms to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of a water pipe within the Slindon Estate, on the edge of the South Downs National Park in West Sussex, running from National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 96566 12476 to SU 97197 12896. The proposal formed part of a Higher Level Stewardship agreement to improve grazing on Bignor Hill, and required the excavation of a trench for the water pipe measuring 2km in length, 500mm wide and approximately 750mm deep. The Archaeological Officer at Chichester District Council and National Trust Archaeologist advised an archaeological watching brief should be maintained during excavation works for the pipe. The route of the pipe crossed the Scheduled Monument of Stane Street, the Roman road running between Eartham and Bignor twice, as well as a Scheduled prehistoric linear boundary known as the Cross Dyke. It also passed just south of a Scheduled bowl barrow at Glatting Beacon and ran between two bowl barrows included in the Stane Street Scheduling boundary. No finds were recovered during the watching brief, and all the features identified were confined to within the Scheduled areas. These consisted of two intercutting roadside ditches recorded along the southern edge of the Roman road of Stane Street located to the north of Gumber Farm, as well as the partially surviving central agger or chalk ridge which formed the build up for the military road. A further feature, identified as the Cross Dyke ditch, was also identified, and although considered to be a prehistoric linear boundary, no dating evidence was recovered to confirm this.
