Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted on land at St Lawrence Surgery, Worthing, West Sussex (NGR TQ 13300 04100). The work was carried out between the 9th and 17th November by Archaeology South-East on behalf of the client ADM Architects and their client St Lawrence Surgery. Works to excavate the footings of an extension to the surgery were monitored over five days in order to assess the archaeological potential of the site and record any remains that were likely to be disturbed. The site lies within an area close to settlements from the Bronze Age, Late Iron Age/Early Roman, and medieval periods all of which lie to the northwest. The land remained in agricultural use until early post medieval times and as such there was a low to moderate chance of archaeological survival from these periods. The natural geology comprised light orangey brown silty clay indicated on British Geological Survey Sheet 333 to be Brickearth. This was encountered at 0.36m below ground level in the north-eastern part of the site where it was overlain by subsoil and topsoil deposits; however over the majority of the site the natural sequence had been truncated removing the subsoil and reducing the natural horizon to 0.50m below the current ground level. The stratigraphic sequence was cut by wall foundations and service drain trenches; however no archaeological features were identified.
