Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 16 hectare site at Hellingly, East Sussex, where a new residential development is proposed. The site is located close to an Archaeological Notification Area (ANA DES9894) containing prehistoric and Roman settlement activity. No anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified by the survey with the majority of the anomalies reflecting post-medieval agricultural activity including boundary removal and land drainage, and modern services. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as low.
