The Warrington Site is a prehistoric Native American site in Sussex County, Delaware. It is located east of County Road 274 on Warrington Neck, west of Rehoboth Beach. It encompasses a Native camp that was used on a seasonal or temporary basis for food production, and dates to the Woodland period, roughly between AD 1100 and AD 1370.[1] Features found at the site include pits, apparently used for storage, that were carefully lined with shells.[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
