Abstract:		 Fieldwork revealed evidence of sporadic occupation dating from the medieval period to the present. Although prehistoric flintwork was recovered, the earliest excavated feature was a ditch of probable early medieval date which suggests attempts to drain the open marshland of the estuarine floodplain of the River Adur. Subsequently, washed salts and sands deriving from medieval salt manufacture were deposited, forming a saltern mound used intermittently from the thirteenth into the sixteenth century. The mound showed evidence of sporadic flooding until the mid-sixteenth-century. A saw pit was in operation by the early-nineteenth century, possibly in connection with a wharf known from documentary sources.
