Abstract: |
Ecus Ltd were commissioned by RPSB in April 2013 to prepare a Desk-Based Assessment to inform proposed works at the Waltham Brooks, near Coldwaltham in West Sussex, situated at National Grid Coordinate TQ 0238 1578. The proposed works are for access improvements including bridge and boardwalk; habitat management including ditch clearance; and the erection of a site interpretation board and the production of a leaflet. Known designated and non-designated heritage assets were assessed within a 1km study area around the site. Whilst there are designated heritage assets within the study area, there is not considered to be a risk of impact to their setting due to the low visual impact of the works. There is potential for evidence of prehistoric to Romano-British activity within the site with discoveries of finds indicating sparse occupation in the wider area. The site was likely utilised during the medieval and post-medieval period for seasonal grazing. In the 18th century the Coldwaltham Cut canal with associated lock and keeper's cottage were constructed within the site. The canal closed in the late 19th century, but remains of the canal, lock and cottage remain. |
