Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Worthing Sixth Form College, Bolsover Road,, Worthing, West Sussex. The work was undertaken between the 7th and 16th April 2008 on behalf of CgMs Consulting Ltd. Twenty Four trenches, all measuring 20 metres in length by 1.8 metres in width were excavated across the area of proposed development. The underlying natural brickearth of a mid orange clayey silt, was encountered at a maximum height of 7.53 m OD to the north of the area of investigation (Trench 1) falling away to 7.16 m OD to the south-east corner of the area of investigation (Trench 16). The earliest identifiable activity on the site was in the Bronze Age. The terminuses of two large linear features and a smaller linear feature lay to the north of the site (within Trenches 1 and 4). These features represent Prehistoric agricultural activity, dated by finds of pottery sherds and fire cracked flint within their fills. A separate phase of activity, dating to the Roman period, lay to the south of the site. A series of linear features, postholes and pits (Trenches 18, 19, 22 and 23) possible relate to occupation of this area. Dating evidence in the form of sherds of Roman pottery were recovered from the fills of these features. Other post-medieval or modern levelling deposits, were encountered, mainly in the centre of the area of investigation. These deposits relate to the modern use of this area as allotments and later as a Sports field in the 20th century.
