Abstract:		 Ecus Ltd were commissioned by RSPB in April 2013 to prepare a Desk-Based Assessment to inform proposed works at the Sussex Wildlife Reserve of Graffham Common, situated at National Grid Coordinate SU 932 196. The proposed works comprises ditch infilling towards the western side of the Wildlife Reserve. 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 activity within the Site, with discoveries of numerous Mesolithic surface finds within the eastern area of Graffham Common. The Site was likely utilised during the medieval and post-medieval period as either pasture or managed woodland. There is also potential for small scale industry in the form of quarrying. Due to the scale of the proposed works it is unlikely that undisturbed archaeological remains will be encountered, with the archaeological potential based upon the recovery of surface finds. Similar finds are already well documented in the area, and additional records are unlikely to add much to our knowledge of prehistory activity in the area beyond its extent. As a consequence, no further archaeological work is recommended as part of the proposed works
