Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out to monitor ground reduction prior to redevelopment of the site. A number of features were discovered which indicated that the site had been occupied from the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age until the present. Despite the proximity of substantial Roman remains to the west, very little indication of the status of the site was found. Evidence of the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and Saxon occupation, which consisted of ditches, pits and post-holes, with associated pottery fragments, was the first found in that part of Worthing. Very little later medieval settlement was found, possibly due to truncation of the site and deep modern service and construction trenches. [Au] |
