Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East (ASE), a division of the Centre of Applied Archaeology, University College London, was commissioned by Cragg Management to undertake to undertake an archaeological watching-brief at The Tree, 103 High Street, Crawley, West Sussex RH10 1GE (NGR 526825 136842). Little new information of note was revealed during the historic building watching brief. The archaeological watching brief uncovered a number of medieval and post-medieval features. Notably, a 13th-century drainage ditch excavated beneath the former early 19th-century extension revealed a sizeable assemblage of artefacts including a plethora of medieval Earlswood-type pottery. The date range assigned to the feature on the basis of the ceramic assemblage is of 1225-1275/1300. Considering its situation alongside the original hall and running north from the crosswing it is considered to likely be contemporaneous with the building - thus corroborating the late 13th century/early 14th-century date range formerly suggested by ASE (ASE 2010). A late medieval slag pit containing substantial quantities of bloomery slag was uncovered to the north end of the site. Finally, an 18th-century well was found, as expected, to the east of the tree. The majority of the site however had been previously truncated - most likely during the 1980s when the courtyard was created.
