A rare opportunity to undertake excavations within the town revealed two grain-dryers, pits and a sequence of boundary and enclosure ditches spanning possibly the 10th to early 15th centuries. These are likely to have lain behind buildings on the High Street frontage and reflect Worthing's development as a nucleated village settlement from c. 1200. The finds include a locally-important assemblage of medieval pottery.
