Abstract
Archaeological investigation on development land at Crawley North East Sector, West Sussex, comprising a 144 trench evaluation and subsequent strip, map, and sample excavation, uncovered evidence for late prehistoric land division, particularly in the north-east of the site. Ditches, termini, pits, and post-holes were excavated relating to the later Bronze Age and Late Iron Age periods and the contemporary land division. A significant assemblage from the 2nd millennium bc was found within the base of one of the later Bronze Age enclosure ditches and similarly dated pottery was found nearby in peripheral features. The enclosure ditches are interpreted as an early boundary or land division relating to a later Bronze Age settlement nearby. There was evidence of late medieval and post-medieval land organisation and small-scale industrial activity, but none related to the known larger-scale operations at nearby Tinsley Forge.
