A watching brief and rescue excavations during the construction of the A259 Rustington Bypass revealed finds and features of the prehistoric and Roman periods. A concentration of Roman remains at the northern end of Penfold Lane was of particular importance. These included a number of Roman quernstones and millstones, nearby undated waterlogged timbers and, given the proximity of a watercourse (the 'Black Ditch'), these may indicate a connection with watermilling. This article reports upon the most significant findings.
