Alfoldean Roman site is a Romano-British settlement located in West Sussex, positioned along the route of the Roman road known as Stane Street, which connected Chichester to London. Archaeological investigations have revealed evidence of occupation spanning the first and second centuries AD, with material culture and structural remains indicating a roadside settlement of modest scale. The site has yielded artefactual evidence including pottery, metalwork, and building debris characteristic of Romano-British rural settlement patterns. Its significance lies in its contribution to understanding the economic and social organisation of the Sussex countryside during the Roman period, particularly the role of settlements clustered along principal communication routes.
