On New Year bank holiday, 2nd January 2023, in glorious sunshine, a group of WAS members did 'The Walk of the Rings - there and back again' between Cissbury and Chanctonbury rings.  Some mince pies were eaten...   The views over the flooded River Adur were stunning.

Three archaeology dogs came along too.

The 2022 season dig at the Malthouse Field Sompting started on the 15th August and continues until the 4th September.  A photo blog of the dig can bee seen on the page: Discoveries/Digs-History/Sompting/Malthouse_Field.

Photographs from subsequent days , together with the photos here can be found on the Discoveries/Digs_History/Bignor_Roman_Villa page.

The WAS report on the EPIC Project at Sompting, written up by Connie Shirley, Gill and Bob Turner, is now available to download here: EPIC Report
