A Watching Brief was maintained during the construction of approximately 3.5 kilometers of pipeline easement through roads and fields from Hambrook to Nutbourne, west of Chichester, West Sussex. Topsoil stripping took place in fields to a width of between nine and fifteen meters and to an average depth of 200mm. Archaeological levels were not exposed during the topsoil stripping. Pipeline easements were dug, under supervision, to sufficient depth to expose natural deposits. Ploughsoil finds were generally post – medieval although probable Early Neolithic lithic material was recovered.
