Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a programme of archaeological excavations and watching brief carried out by Archaeology South-East (ASE) on land at 'Wickhurst Green', Broadbridge Heath, West Sussex between June 2008 and May 2013. The archaeological investigations were required to mitigate the archaeological impact of a large residential development and in order to discharge an associated planning condition. The fieldwork was commissioned by RPS on behalf of their clients Countryside Properties. The excavations represent perhaps the largest single archaeological investigation conducted within the Weald of West Sussex, an area which has suffered from a historical lack of fieldwork. The site succeeded in exposing multi-period remains dating from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval period of a density that was perhaps un-expected. The location of the site on gently sloping land close to the River Arun was possibly attractive to ancient settlement and land-use. Together with other recent fieldwork in the wider area the results indicate that Wealden sites close to water courses should no longer be considered of low archaeological potential. The results present the possibility of examining multi-period archaeological activity on a landscape scale. The report is written and structured so as to conform to the standards required of post-excavation analysis work as set out in Management of Archaeological Projects (English Heritage 1991). Preliminary analysis of the stratigraphic, finds and environmental material has indicated a provisional chronology, and allowed assessments of the potential of the site archive to address the original research agenda, as well as assessing the significance of the findings. This has highlighted what further analysis work is required in order to enable suitable dissemination of the findings in a final publication.
