A27 bypass archaeology findings
Part of the research needed for the A27 bypass, that was shelved, involved a geophysical survey along the suggested route. In March 2025 we were finally able to access the information that was discovered in that survey and you can find the results here. It is astonishing how much evidence of Roman and pre-Roman occupation was revealed.
The map of the area surveyed is shown here. As 41% of the trenches dug revealed artefacts, it is highly likely that more areas of Fontwell and Walberton would also reveal archaeological remains.
This information is now being added to the HER (Historical Environment Records).
