Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Bovis Homes to undertake a Stage 1 magnetometer survey and a Stage 2 trial trench evaluation on land north of Arundel Road, Peacehaven, East Sussex. Six archaeological evaluation trenches were excavated. The magnetometer survey identified quantities of modern disturbance and failed to detect any potential buried archaeology. As a result the evaluation trenches were not targeted on any geophysical anomalies but were spread as evenly across the site as possible. Undisturbed subsoil was recorded across the site and this yielded a good quantity of worked flint and 1 sherd of prehistoric pottery. A finely made Neolithic polished axe was also recovered. Some prehistoric pottery dating to the Late Neolithic/early Bronze Age or Late Iron Age/Roman and Middle/Late Iron Age period was also recovered from within two pits. The flintwork and pottery is consistent with that across the Peacehaven area. Several probable field boundary ditches of likely prehistoric date were also encountered across the site. The alignment of some of these ditches suggests they may form part of small scale Middle Iron Age field systems identified to the east and west of the site during previous excavations. The finds recovered suggest that the site was in use in the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age and again in the Middle to Late Iron Age. Possible Mesolithic and Middle Neolithic activity is also probable, as is occupation in the Late Iron Age or Roman period. The activity is difficult to classify but may include both agricultural activity as well as activity peripheral to occupation.
