Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted on land at St Wilfred's School, Crawley, West Sussex (NGR: TQ 259 360). The work was carried out between the 2nd and 4th November for CgMS on behalf of their client Bellway Homes Ltd. Eight trenches were excavated to a cumulative length of 134 metres in advance of the construction of a new residential development in order to assess the archaeological potential of the site. The site lies to the south of recorded Iron Age and Roman iron working identified on Goffs Park. The site was significantly landscaped in the 1950s during the creation of the formal gardens associated with Oakwood House, this involved the creation of various areas of terracing which have truncated the stratigraphic sequence, either exposing the natural or rendering it very close to the ground surface sealed only by a relatively modern topsoil or recently formed demolition material. The natural geology comprised silty clays indicated on British Geological Survey Sheet 302 to be Weald Clay. This was encountered at a maximum height of 91.26m AOD in the west of the site and a minimum height of 87.80m AOD in the south of the site. The sequence was cut by occasional land drains and a wastewater drainage service trench; however no archaeological features were identified.
