Investigation of an early Romano-British settlement at Worthing Road, Littlehampton revealed an enclosed working area, probably with beginnings in the Late Iron Age. Pottery was produced on the site for about 100 years between c. AD 43 and AD 150 using simple updraught kilns producing pottery comparable with that produced at Hardham and Wiggonholt and to vessels from Fishbourne and Chichester. Environmental evidence suggests that spelt wheat was processed in the vicinity of the site and the waste from this processing was used as kindling to fire the kilns.
