Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (PCA) was appointed by NATTA on behalf of St Mowden Homes, to carry out a programme of archaeological investigation comprising on Land West of Copthorne, West Sussex. The archaeological investigation was intended to mitigate the impact of the development on archaeological remains identified in an archaeological evaluation (ASE 2017 and 2018) and comprised of two areas: Area 1 measuring 1,670sqm and Area 2 measuring 100sqm. The works were carried out between 12th of August - 18th of September 2019. The investigation revealed archaeological resources dating to the prehistoric, laterprehistoric to Roman and medieval periods. It is considered that the resources areevidence of land management or land division features of later prehistoric to Roman andmedieval date as well as the possible reuse of natural features, possibly in the Mesolithicperiod.In Area 2, a buried land surface identified during the evaluation with GeoarchaeologicalTest Pit 2 (GTP2) was observed in four further test pits but was found significantly lesserextent than observed in the 2018 evaluation (ASE 2018). Environmental samplingshowed some evidence for foraging of hazelnuts as well as the cultivation of cerealcrops. A small quantity of struck flint was also recovered which is further evidence forprehistoric activity on the site.
