Abstract:
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Armour Heritage to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of the proposed mixed development of land at Toddington Lane (Phase 4), Littlehampton, West Sussex. 66 trenches were excavated across the site to reveal the underlying natural soft mid brown-orange sand clay with patches of orangey sand, flint gravels, and occasional outcroppings of chalk at a maximum elevation of 5.16 m AOD in the west of the site area falling away slightly to 3.20m AOD in the south-east of the site and to 1.90m AOD in the north-west. The investigation has succeeded in identifying archaeological features in 11 of the 66 trenches. A very small quantity of residual struck flint artefacts suggests some later prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the site. However, much of the archaeological activity recorded appears to be related to a settlement of Early Iron Age date with a possible enclosure ditch associated with further ditches, a storage pit, gullies, and postholes. Securely dated medieval activity was limited to quarry pitting in the east of the site
