Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation and watching brief were conducted at Birchen Lane, West Sussex, between the 12th of September 2016 and the 21st of September 2017. This fieldwork comprised the excavation of an iron working site, identified during a prior archaeological evaluation. This site comprised a bowl furnace and associated ore-quarry, with evidence of limited on-site primary smithing, which has been radiocarbon dated to the Middle Iron Age. The bloomery was sealed by a layer of colluvium, which had likely formed by the Late Iron Age. Evidence of low-level agricultural activity was recorded for the 13th and 18th to earlier 19th centuries. A small residual lithic assemblage indicated low-level Late Mesolithic/ Early Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age activity in the vicinity of the site.
