Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage (South East Region) to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Bramber Castle, Bramber, West Sussex, centred on National Grid Reference TQ 18667 10734 (hereafter the 'Site'). Bramber Castle is a Scheduled Monument (SM no. 12859) and comprises the remains of a motte and bailey castle. It was occupied almost continuously from 1075 until 1450 by the descendants of the founder, William de Braose. The watching brief was undertaken during the repair works, which comprised the relaying of the gravel access track and excavation of a new soakaway with an associated drainage trench across the access track. No archaeological features or deposits were observed in the course of the watching brief and no artefacts were retrieved. Topsoil and, in the drainage trench across the access track, gravel made ground were recorded overlying the natural chalk geology. The watching brief was carried out between the 15th and 17th March 2011. |
