Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East carried out at an archaeological excavation Land at Toddington Lane (AP4), Littlehampton in advance of residential development of the site. The earliest cut feature dated from the Late Neolithic/ Early Bronze Age and comprised a single pit. An isolated un-urned adult cremation of Middle Bronze Age date was exposed at the very southern extent of the site. An Iron Age settlement enclosure, potentially occupied continuously for at least 250 years was partly exposed in the south-east corner of the site, extending beyond the southern limit. Three phases of re-cutting of the settlement enclosure ditches was evident, all maintaining similar alignments, and all similarly identifying the north-west corner of the enclosure as an area in which to store grain in large, vertical sided pits. Two phases of Early Roman enclosure were identified, occupying the same space as the preceding Iron Age settlement. Sub-divisions within the enclosure were present but few associated discrete features were visible. Mid Roman activity was characterised by two enclosures surrounded by flint-packed postholes interpreted as stockades for confining large numbers of livestock. A single very large posthole, located in the north-east corner of an enclosure has been tentatively interpreted as a tethering post for large livestock. A series of inter-cutting pits of 13th to 15th century date was identified in the north-east corner of the site and appeared to represent small scale quarrying for chalk for liming fields in the immediate vicinity.
