Wiggonholt
 
An extensive settlement, covering over 100-acres, was located between the River Arun and its tributary, the Stor, originating c. mid 1st century AD. In the early 2nd century a pottery kiln was built, specializing in flagons. A masonry bath-house, excavated 1937-9, was extended in the late 4th century (c.30 m length), indicating an extensive period of occupation. There are some indications that a villa may lie to the east of the baths, and the large villa at Borough Farm lies just 1.5 miles distant. A 3rd - 4th century metalworking zone was located on the northern part of the site.
