Abstract:		 Following a Stage 1 evaluation (October 2005), an archaeological excavation was carried out prior to the construction of a new NHS community hospital at Fitzalan Road, Littlehampton. The excavation covered an area measuring approximately 25m x 16m, and was located over the position of trial trench 4, from the initial evaluation. This trench had revealed two Roman cremation urns, and several cut features, including a pit and gullies, of uncertain date. Although no further cremations were discovered, a number of linear features and pits were revealed during the excavation. The archaeological remains were generally very shallow, having been severely truncated by the foundations of the former hospital building. With the exception of several sherds of Roman greyware pottery, the only artefacts recovered from the site were fire-cracked flints and waste flint flakes, and a small abraded fragment of possible Bronze Age pottery. A late Victorian bottle dump containing a number of stoneware bottles and glass vessels, bearing the name of a local brewery, was also found. [Au(abr)]
