The watching brief was carried out over two days and comprised the monitoring and recording of a single 37.70m long by 1.6m wide trench across the proposed route of the Wickham to Chichester Roman road at Lyeheath. The trench revealed a layer of gravels along the proposed alignment of the Roman road from Wickham to Chichester. The nature of the deposit suggests it had been the subject of truncation through agricultural practices within the field but was most likely the remnants of the Roman road. There was no evidence for associated features of a Roman road such as flanking ditches.
