Location Bramber Castle The Street Grid Reference Centred TQ 18536 10716 (114m by 177m) TQ11SE Area Administrative Areas Civil Parish Bramber, Horsham, West Sussex District Horsham, West Sussex Address Bramber Castle, The Street, Bramber, West Sussex Description and Sources Description A geophysical survey was carried out at Bramber Castle to try and establish the extent of sub-surface archaeological remains within the castle. A magnetometer survey and an earth resistance survey was carried out on the site. The magnetometer readings were collected along transects 1m apart using Bartington 1m fluxgate gradiometers, and are plotted at 25cm intervals along each transect. The Earth resistance survey was carried out with a Geoscan RM15 meter with a four probe array. Readings were recorded at 0.5m intervals along transects 1m apart, and probes were switched to provide readings at 0.5m and 1m probe spacing at each location. The depth of penetration of resistance readings equates approximately to the probe spacing, and so the 1m survey should detect features to a greater depth than the 0.5m survey. The survey identified rectilinear outlines which are thought to represent reasonably intact structural remains in the northern half of the bailey. It also identified another less clearly defined structure to the west of the motte. It was difficult to determine whether any medieval wall footings survived in the southwest quadrant of the bailey as there was a disturbed response due to the vicinity of the tearoom, and other former structures in this area. A structure appears to have been detected to the north of the gatehouse at H, but there is no clear evidence for a cobbled road continuing to the north from the original entrance. The survey also identified a fragmentary resistance response to the outer edge of the ditch around the motte, but the ditch has not otherwise been detected. Overall, the survey produced a number of positive findings, mainly of structural remains or wall footings at locations which appear to be consistent with previous excavation data. The ditch around the motte appears to have responded only minimally to the survey. {1} Sources (1) XY Grey Literature Report: Bartlett-Clark Consultancy. 2010.

Description and Sources Description Secular college founded at Bramber c.1073, dissolved after 1080, part of it now incorporated in the parish church of St. Nicholas. Church restored C18- C19. {1}
That which today constitutes the parich church of Bramber is the remnant of a small cruciform building erected by Wm. De Braose I. to serve as the collegiate church of a small body of canons. In S. Nicholas, bramber, we have one of the very earliest churches of the Norman epoch, it having been erected by 1073 and in the grotesque capitals of the piers (a fox and goose, birds fighting may be noted on the remaining complete one). The church consisted originally of a small nave, transepts and centra tower with sanctuary; the space under the tower serving as a chancel, wherein the canons would say the Daily Offices. In 1080 the church was handed over to the newly-founded Priory of S. Peter at Sele, subject only to the life interests of the Canons. As to the cause of the ruinous state in the 17th century, there is no evidence, but the appalling state of ruin and decay is well seen in a print published in 1772, taken from a drawing made in 1761. In 1783 the Rev. Dr. Green was appointed to the living and set about restoration. The tower was built up, the window in the south wall opened out, the ruined walls of the sanctury taken down and those of the south transept transformed into buttresses. A new font was provided and a three-light window inserted in the east wall. In the so-called"restoration" of 1871, this window was removed and the present three small windows in the Norman style inserted. The stencilling on the interior walls was probably done in 1871. At the same time the west wall was refaced, and so covered up the arch of a former doorway, whichi is shewn both in the print published before the restoration of 1790 and in Prout's drawing of 1820. {2}
The incorporated remains of the secular college are not easily distinguished from the other fabric of the church. {3}
ST NICHOLAS. Built partly as a chapel to the castle, and given to the abbey of St Florent at Saumer c.1075. The building must date from the very first few years after the Conquest - or rather, what is left of it; for it shared both the general decline of the tower and the particular depredations of the C17. It was used as a gun emaplcement for attacking the castle in 1642. It had to be patched up in the late C18 (by Rev. T Green) and the hollow top of the tower dates from then. The C11 plan was aisleless and cruciform. That is, saving the big blocked arch on the N side of the nave. Chancel and transepts have gone, and the repair is now not pretty and late C18 (there was an Eginton E window) but bungling and late C19. So, visually, Bramber is no fun at all; but historically the crossing capitals, some of them recently uncovered, are a perfect illustration of Early Norman naivete. Not only crude volutes, but also carved heads and (very rare) what seems to be a fox-and-goose. {4}
Coade Stone - a cermaic artificial stone, closely resembled natural fine-grained limestone, made of clay and fired in a kiln. Bramber Church contains a round plaque with a seated mourning woman taken from a keystone in the Palazzo dei Conservatori in Rome, and known as Weeping Dacia ot the Weeping Province. The monument is to the Rev. Thomas Green, his wife Ann Green and a daughter Ann. Thie inscription is on a stone plaque below dated 1789, and there is a tiny Coade coat of arms below again. {5}
Chancel with east tower over it, nave and west vestry. Originally cruciform. Largely Norman. The tower is hollow and dates from the C18. Vestry C20. {6} {7}
Built in the later C11 for a college of priests, it was parochial by 1250. It was originally cruciform, though small for this plan, MonFullRpt Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 14 HER Number MWS1210 Site Name The Parish Church of St Nicholas and the remains of a Secular College, Bramber and the capitals on the western crossing arch are C11. It was ruinous in the C17, but the tower and crossing were rebuilt in the C18 as a chancel and it was again altered in 1931. Bramber church stands on the same mound as the ruined castle and William de Braose, Lord of the Rape of Bramber, founded both. As was common in Normandy, he established in 1073 a small college of secular canons outside his castle, with Upper Beeding church among its endowments. The college had a difficult time, however, for the older dependency of the abbey of Fécamp at Steyning nearby took exception to it. Perhaps to match the strength of Steyning and Fécamp, de Braose in 1080 gave Bramber college and Upper Beeding church to the abbey of Saumur, as part of a larger endowment, from which Sele priory at Upper Beeding emerged. This was subject to the life interest of the existing canons of Bramber, which lasted at least until 1086, when a dispute between Herbert, dean of Bramber, and Fécamp over burial rights in Bramber church suggests that it was already mainly parochial, though Sele priory may not have been established before 1096. Thereafter, the status of Bramber was ambiguous for a long time, but by c1250 it was fully parochial. The church was originally cruciform with a crossing tower, though it is small for such a plan. Today, the nave survives with the crossing, now the chancel, under a low tower that dates from the C18. The original masonry is well cut and laid ashlar. Richard Gem calls this the Caenais type of masonry (indicating its likely origin) and dates its use in England to the 1070s to 1100 at the latest, which would accord with the presumed early start after the foundation in 1073. He also suggests that it could indicate the use of Norman masons, who had been brought over to build the castle. The church was in disrepair by the C17, probably in parallel with the castle, which a drawing of 1636 shows already in ruins, so its destruction did not happen in the Civil War as has been claimed. The aisleless nave is little wider than the tower with some herringbone flintwork in the north wall. The C11 south doorway was the entrance from the village. It is plain except a narrow label of billetwork and is unusually close to the crossing, though it could have been moved. The entrance from the castle must have been through the blocked arch on the north side. Seen from the inside, it is needlessly tall for a doorway and the threshold is some 3ft above the floor, so there must have been a stair. The external masonry is too disturbed to help with interpreting the building. A west doorway of this period was still visible in 1829. The finest C11 work is in the crossing, which is 2ft 6in narrower from east to west, so the transepts were smaller and, like pre- Conquest ones, subordinate to the nave. This suggests a date relatively soon after 1073. Only the west arch is open and the east one is an outline only. The side arches have heads of two stepped orders and responds with demi-shafts lacking bases. The capitals are carved with volutes, heads and in one case the story of the fox and geese. George Zarnecki sees their flat carving, which is subordinated to the shape of the capitals, as further evidence of their C11 date. The capitals of the south arch may have been replaced in the C19. The crossing has heavy buttresses to the south and in 1931 excavations showed the transept was only half as long again as these; presumably the north one was similar. The C11 chancel may have been apsidal but, if so, had been rebuilt square before the time of the 1636 drawing. This shows the transepts already missing and over the crossing is a slightly higher pitched roof like those of nave and chancel. Possibly, the tower was never completed after the departure of the college. The drawing is too small to show the windows clearly. In the nave, a cinquefoil-headed lancet in the blocked north arch could be C14, though much renewed, and the south windows look C16, though another drawing of 1761 does not show them. The inner south doorway is C14. The bishop’s visitation in 1724 confirmed that the church was in a poor state and by 1761 only the nave was roofed (some timbers look old and the rest is covered in C19 boarding). So it remained until the Rev Thomas Green in 1783 created a rather different church out of the remaining parts of the C11 one, reflecting the revived interest in the picturesque – the castle ruins in the background offered particular opportunities. Green removed the ruined chancel and built a low and unroofed tower over the crossing with battlements and pointed openings. The orientation is confusing, for whilst it was usual to have a crossing-tower, it is now over the chancel. Little remains of his windows – a three-light pointed east one in the chancel was later replaced. Green’s church was picturesquely covered in foliage, which was removed at restorations in 1871 and 1890. No architect is recorded, even of the earlier, more substantial one. Three elaborately shafted windows, C12 in form, replaced Green’s east window and others were placed or reset in the blocked side arches. All the arches were repaired on one or other occasion, with new abaci for all capitals, and the roofs were boarded. In 1960 the eastern arch was found to be of brick, so it may be entirely C19. Stencilled decoration inside has not survived. Alterations in 1931 by W D Caröe included redecorating the interior and a combined entrance and vestry at the west end with a pitched roof. Caröe also studied the fabric and undertook excavations. During repairs in 1959-60 by J L Denman the north arch in the nave was fully uncovered. {8}

Description and Sources Description William de Braose, one of King William's barons, who was granted land in Sussex before 1086, erected the motte of Bramber Castle in the centre of a natural hill and surrounded it with a quarry ditch. He then erected a stone gatehouse, part of which survives. A curtain wall was probably erected in C12 and the motte ditch was filled in. The large outer ditch, some 70ft below the plateau, was constructed or remade. The area N. of the gatehouse was built up with a dump of chalk and clay in which a coin of Henry I (c.1180) was dropped. Three successive buildings were erected in this area, while the kitchen lay to the W. The area was used as a rubbish dump in C14 when the main occupation may have moved to the buildings erected E. of the motte at this time. Excavations in the 1920s proved that the steep slopes around the church and car park on the S. side of the castle originally formed a bailey of the castle. Pottery was found. {1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6}
The monument includes the earthworks of a castle which was occupied almost continuously from 1075 to c. 1450 by the descendants of the founder, William de Braose. Partial excavation of the site in 1966-7 revealed the development of the castle from a motte and bailey to an 'enclosure' type. The castle was established as a defensive and administrative centre for the newly established Rape of Bramber. The motte was raised 9m above the knoll level using marl quarried from an encircling ditch 15-17m wide and up to 4m deep. The whole knoll top, 170m N-S x 85m E-W, was enclosed within a wall or palisade, and a stone gatehouse guarded the only entrance on the S side. The motte was soon abandoned in favour of a stone tower keep

An outer ditch, which plunged to 25m below the knoll top in places, was dug around the knoll and on its outer edge a bank was constructed to strengthen further the defences. Around the knoll top the wall was renewed or replaced in stone and still survives to a height of 3m on the W side. Inside the castle were a number of buildings used until the C15. The footings of the access bridge on the S side of the castle survive beneath the modern structure here. Subsidence on a large scale saw the ruin of the castle during the C16. The approach path, the modern bridge and the access steps beyond are excluded from the scheduling although the ground beneath is included.{7} {9}
Watching brief produced artefacts covering a date range of over 500 years (with most of the pottery being later post medieval), suggesting that the area had probably been used as a rubbish dump over a considerable period. {8}
The remains of earthworks and standing ruins of Bramber castle which was occupied almost continuously from circa 1075 to about 1450 by the descendants of the founder, William de Braose. Excavations carried out in 1966-7 indicate how the castle evolved from a 'motte and bailey' type fortification, founded circa 1075, to an 'enclosure' type in the 12th century, with a stone keep, gatehouse and curtain wall. Subsequent alterations and rebuilding were carried out in the 14th century, however large scale subsidence saw the ruin of the castle during the 16th century. The castle was established as a defensive and administrative centre for the newly established Rape of Bramber (administrative area). The motte was raised nine metres above the level of the mound using marl quarried from an encircling ditch 15-17 metres wide and up to four metres deep. The whole mound, 170 metres north-south by 85 metres east-west, was enclosed within a wall or palisade, and a stone gatehouse guarded the only entrance on the south side. The motte was abandoned in the 12th century and a stone tower keep of three storeys was built over the gatehouse, and the motte ditch was backfilled. An outer ditch, in places 25 metres deep, below the hill top was dug around the hill and on its outer edge a bank was constructed to further strengthen the defences. Around the mound the wall was renewed or replaced in stone and still survives to a height of some three metres on the west side. The motte and fragments of standing stonework, possibly that of the keep, were mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage South Downs National Mapping Programme. All that remains of the castle now is the mound on which the castle stood and fragments of masonry of the surrounding wall. (TQ 18551070) Bramber Castle (NR) (rems of) Norman castle of the motte and bailey type probably built by the first William de Braose in the 11th c. Nothing of the keep remains except the mound on which it stood, and only fragments of the masonry of the surrounding wall. Scheduled. Ro coin found. Excavations in 1966 and 1967 showed that the motte was surrounded except to the NNE by a wide, shallow quarry ditch. Construction of the motte was followed by the building of a stone gatehouse with N-S entrance and single storey above. By the 12th c, it had been raised with a tall tower keep, the gate-way and several feet of its height being blocked with rubble. The W wall still stands to 70 feet and contains a fine 12th c window. A curtain wall was probably erected in the 12th c and the motte ditch, then no longer required, was filled in. The large outer ditch, some 70ft below the chalk plateau was constructed or remade (its date has not been established), involving scarping of the E side. The area N of the gate-house was built up with a dump of chalk and clay in which a coin of Henry II (c 1180) was dropped. Three successive buildings were erected in this area, while the kitchen lay to the W. The area was used as a rubbish dump in the 14th c when main occupation may have moved to the buildings erected E of the motte about this time. A section of the curtain wall shows a rebuilding of unknown date, which cannot be later than the 14th century. A few sherds of Saxon pottery c 1000 were found on the original ground surface of the tower area. Bramber Castle as described above. Demolished during the Civil War (Notice).

Excavations in 1988 on a small section of the curtain wall on the west side of the castle reveal that it was a late rebuild, possibly dating to the 14th century on top of the original early 12th century wall. A possible wooden structure dating to 15th to 16th c was also revealed. The ruins of a Norman castle built by William de Braose c.1075. The remains consist of earthworks and part of the wall of the keep-gatehouse. Bramber Castle was founded as one of six administrative regions of Sussex, each of which was controlled by a castle, following the Norman Conquest in 1066. King John held the castle briefly, but is known to have carried out repairs to the buildings. The castle returned to the de Braose family until the 14th century when it passed to the Mowbray family. Following the castles ruin due to subsidence, its masonry was used for building roads in the area. The castle may have been briefly occupied by Parliamentarian forces during the Civil War. Excavations revealed that the area north of the gatehouse was built up with clay and chalk and a serried of buildings were erected there. A kitchen lay to the west. The area was used as a rubbish dump in the 14th century, when the buildings east of the motte may have become the main accommodation. The lower courses of these structures can still be seen. {10} {11} {12}
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage (South East Region) to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Bramber Castle, Bramber, West Sussex. 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. 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. Despite the location of the groundworks within boundary of the Scheduled Monument at Bramber Castle, no archaeological deposits, features or finds were identified during the watching brief. 6.1.2 Topsoil and, in the drainage trench across the access track, gravel made ground were recorded to overlie the natural chalk geology. {13}
A geophysical survey was carried out at Bramber Castle to try and establish the extent of sub-surface archaeological remains within the castle. A magnetometer survey and an earth resistance survey was carried out on the site. The magnetometer readings were collected along transects 1m apart using Bartington 1m fluxgate gradiometers, and are plotted at 25cm intervals along each transect. The Earth resistance survey was carried out with a Geoscan RM15 meter with a four probe array. Readings were recorded at 0.5m intervals along transects 1m apart, and probes were switched to provide readings at 0.5m and 1m probe spacing at each location. The depth of penetration of resistance readings equates approximately to the probe spacing, and so the 1m survey should detect features to a greater depth than the 0.5m survey. The survey identified rectilinear outlines which are thought to represent reasonably intact structural remains in the northern half of the bailey. It also identified another less clearly defined structure to the west of the motte. It was difficult to determine whether any medieval wall footings survived in the southwest quadrant of the bailey as there was a disturbed response due to the vicinity of the tearoom, and other former structures in this area. A structure appears to have been detected to the north of the gatehouse at H, but there is no clear evidence for a cobbled road continuing to the north from the original entrance. The survey also identified a fragmentary resistance response to the outer edge of the ditch around the motte, but the ditch has not otherwise been detected. Overall, the survey produced a number of positive findings, mainly of structural remains or wall footings at locations which appear to be consistent with previous excavation data. The ditch around the motte appears to have responded only minimally to the survey. {14}
In 2015 and 2016 a series of archaeological investigations were carried out at Bramber Castle as part of the Extending Histories: from Medieval Mottes to Prehistoric Round Mounds project. The Round Mounds project contends that fossilised within the main body of some medieval mottes are large Neolithic round mounds. Bramber Castle is one of 20 mottes from across England considered as having prehistoric potential. Bramber Castle earthworks comprises an earthen mound or motte, which stands 9m high, with a substantial ditch and counter-scarp bank encircling the chalk knoll. The main enclosure bank is topped by a curtain wall of coursed flint cobbles which still stands to over 2m high in places. The main and only access to the enclosure was from the south, originally by way of a square gatehouse. The initial phase of fieldwork at Bramber involved drilling two boreholes. Borehole 1 was positioned in the centre of the summit of the motte, and was drilled to a maximum depth of 9m below ground level. Bore Hole 2 was also positioned on the flat top of the motte, 5.5m north east of Bore Hole 1 and was drilled to a maximum depth of 8.38 below ground level. Both boreholes show a generally consistent stratigraphic sequence. Samples were also taken from the borehole to assess their pollen content. There was an absence of any later dating material (plant remains, charcoal etc.) in the boreholes but this is not necessarily proof of their absence. Charcoal fragments at the top of Bore Hole 1 suggest that the mound had reached its full height sometime after Cal AD 1024-1154 (95% confidence). A second phase of fieldwork involved the detailed analytical earthwork survey of the motte and the interior of the northern and southern baileys at Bramber Castle. The footprint of upstanding masonry elements within the interior of the bailey were also recorded, along with surviving sections of the curtain wall. The mound and ditch - The site is dominated by a large, slightly oval mound or motte which has a basal diameter of between 64 and 68m, and stands between 7.7m and 9.2m above the surrounding ground surface. The mound, which sits almost centrally within the enclosure, has been truncated along its eastern side to accommodate a range of buildings constructed against the outer curtain wall of the castle. The sub-rectangular summit of the mound measures 18.3m from north-east to south-west and 12.2m from north-west to south-east. The very slight remains of a sub- circular hollow were recorded towards the centre of the mound top. The hollow, 3.2m in diameter, is surrounded by an outer bank which stands no more than 0.2m high; this feature may represent modern disturbance. A number of breaks-of-slope and ledges were identified around the circumference of the mound which may reflect a change in the material makeup of the mound. Three small but clear ledges were recorded on the mound. The ledges on the south side most likely represent recent damaged caused by erosion due to MonFullRpt Report generated by HBSMR from exeGesIS SDM Ltd Page 26 HER Number MWS3519 Site Name Bramber Castle tree or scrub cover. The ledge on the north side is shown on a mid-17th-century etching of the castle (Wenzel Hollar) and may represent the medieval point of access onto the motte. The mound is partly surrounded by a ditch, which has been infilled and is now only visible as a very slight scarp. The Southern and Northern baileys - A number of buildings were recorded in the interior of the enclosure during fieldwork. Two terraced platforms were identified in the southern bailey, adjacent to the curtain wall on the eastern side of the enclosure. These platforms sit side by side and are thought to represent the remains of structures associated with medieval or later phase of the castle. A terraced platform was also identified to the south-west of the mound and may also represent a small medieval or later structure. A number of possible building platforms were also identified within the northern bailey. A series of terraced platforms running parallel to the curtain wall on the eastern side of the enclosure would appear to represent the remains of either a four-cell linear range or four separate structures. A further structure was also identified on the western side of the northern bailey. To the east of the mound a raised platform, measuring 7.5m x 6.5m, was identified and represents the remains of a further medieval building. This feature lies adjacent to 5 exposed footings of a range of buildings excavated in the late 19th and early 20th century which are thought to be late 13th or 14th century in date. Later Features: A slight sub-rectangular terraced platform was also recorded running parallel to the western curtain wall in the southern bailey area. This feature, measuring 30m by 8m, represents a large structure. The structure is first depicted on the OS map of 1911 and was still standing in 1947, though demolished by 1961-3. The remains therefore represent an early 20th- century building, and are almost certainly related to the castle’s use as a visitor attraction, tea gardens and fairground, prior to the National Trust’s acquisition of the site in 1946. The results of the archaeological work demonstrate that the mound at Bramber Castle was built in the medieval period, at some point after cal AD 1024-1154 (95% confidence), and that there is evidence for several phases of activity at the site: the earthwork evidence indicates that the motte may have been constructed in more than one phase; furthermore, it is possible that the castle enclosure, which now form the baileys to the north and south, may pre-date the motte; finally, evidence for later activity at the site was identified in the form of a rectangular platform in the southern part of the site, which is likely to be the remains of an early 20th century building. {15} Sources (1) Bibliographic reference: Bloxam MH. 1864.

Description and Sources Description Salt-making was conducted as a part-time occupation by some of the inhabitants of the Adur Valley from later Saxon times. After c.1350 it suffered a decline, cheifly because of climatic and economic factors and gradula inning of the estuary and embarking of the mainstream hastened the demise of the activity. Salt-making lingered in a small way during the 15th century and may still have been carried on at Bramber in the early 16th century. Fourteen mounds south of the village street survived until 1971-72, but the group was not surveyed, the positions of the mounds being taken from sketches and an RAF air photograph (1948). It is possible that two or three additional mounds existed before the formation of St Mary's Caravan Park. The three mounds nearest Beeding Bridge were up to 7ft (2.13m) in height. The northern high mound was seen during removal, and old soil line being noted c.1ft 6in (0.45m) above the field level. This showed that there had been a hiatus at this mound, sufficiently ling to permit the formation of a soil, before salt-making was resumed on it. The highest moound of all likewise had a buried soil line visible about half-way down its height. Objects picked up were a few sherds of Medieval pottery, some fragments of flat Wealden sandstone, a large number of sea boulders, oyster shells, burnt clay and a sheep horn core. The salterns are mentioned in a document of c. 1260 and may have been known in 1698 as 'the salt slip or slips'. {1}
The cropmark and earthwork remains of a group of medieval saltern mounds and drains located on the western bank of the R.Adur south of Beeding bridge (centred as a group at TQ 1910 1030) were mapped from a variety of historical photographs as part of the English Heritage: South Downs NMP project. The outlines of the mounds vary in shape and size due to their gradual fomation by accretion of the build up of waste sediment produced as a by-product of salt production. The process involved the washing of salt-rich sand with salty water collected from the river which is tidal and thus saline. A concentrated brine which was produce which was then evaporated off leaving the crystals of salt. The Sand and other sediments were discarded to form the mounds upon which it was common to find huts and working areas. A large proportion of these mounds have been recorded as part of TQ 10 NE 26. Between the saltern mounds and the river are two parallel banks which represent later flood defences and land reclamation, much of which took place in the later medieval onwards. {2} {3} {4} Sources (1) Article in serial: Sussex Archaeologcial Collections. 1981.

Description and Sources Description A watching brief took place at 'The Gables', The Street, at NGR TQ 1876 1056, the foundation trenches were fairly narrow which made observation/recording difficult. However a series of C11-12 deposits were observed, including a straight-sided ditch filled with grey clay, a pit filled with charcoal, and a grey fill containing shell, charcoal, bone, and pottery. From this it is thought that The Street sits upon a causeway formed from large flint pebbles (which may fallin height from the edge of the floodplain towards the river) and that the town of Bramber is situated upon made ground. {1} Sources (1) Bibliographic reference: Gardiner M.

Description and Sources Description (TQ 153090) Field system IA-RB. There is evidence of the smaller IA-RB fields and also large contour lynchets covering much of the area. Some are in good condition but many have suffered from ploughing.{1}
The roughly rectangular field system lies on either side of a contemporary north-south aligned trackway which transects the spur. Originally providing access to the field system and settlements from the surrounding downland, the trackway has been mostly levelled by modern ploughing. Individual field boundaries are visible within the southern part of the monument in the form of positive lynchets up to 0.3m high, and elsewhere as cropmarks. These show that each field was a small, square or rectangular unit measuring from c.2ha to c.6ha.{2}
Field system with 'celtic fields'; suggested Middle Bronze Age date with substantial Iron Age modification and Roman reorganization visible as fragmented cropmarks and earthworks and mapped from aerial photographs. Area TQ 153090) Field System IA/RB. There is evidence of the smaller rectangular IA/RB fields and also large contour lynchets covering much of the area. Some are in good condition but many have suffered from ploughing. (See also TQ 10 NE 1 for discussion of the settlements associated with the field system). At Park Brow (TQ10NE 1), farmers of the Bronze Age, Iron Age and RB periods all clearly ploughed the ridge. What we now see (on plans - the area has suffered from ploughing) is probably a MBA field pattern, substantially modified in the Iron Age and reorganised in the Romano-British period. The much plough damaged and fragmented remains of the extensive field systems described by the previous authorities were recorded and mapped from a wide range of aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: South Downs NMP project. The field systems associated with the Park Brow settlements appear to drape the landscape and follow the contours, but the field systems to the east and south-east of these are more rectilinear and show less regard to the terrain. These more rectilinear field systems are more Romano-British in character. Within the swathe of field systems are the fragmentary traces of a number of tracks, some of which appear as currently used tracks or lanes for parts of their courses and dewponds of uncertain date which have been recorded separately. Also noted were further examples of the bank defined tracks seen at Park Brow - TQ 1642 0987 to TQ 1728 0988 - a curving bank defined trackway associated with an area of rectilinear bank defined fields of probable Roman date. Excluding Park Brow, there are three areas of fields within this record which largely occupy SE facing slopes within the undulating chalk downland. No definite trace of banks or field boundaries could be located within the combes between these areas. It is not clear whether this is because the systems didn't extend in to them or if they have since silted up. All earthwork and cropmark remains depicted on associated mapping are taken from the English Heritage National Mapping Programme shapefiles; for exact monument type of each line/polygon see the NMP shapefiles.{3} {4} {5} Sources (1) Index: Ordnance Survey. 1952-1970.

The route of a disused railway line runs diagonally across the parish of Southwater from Christ's Hospital to Shoreham-on- Sea. The old railway line was vital to Southwater Brickworks industry and for people to travel to London and the coast. It is now a footpath and the original railway bridges along this route are retained. The former railway line and bridges are considered to be an asset to Southwater and as such meet the criteria to be designated as a Parish Heritage Asset. {7}
The route of a disused railway line runs diagonally across the parish of Southwater from Christ's Hospital to Shoreham-on- Sea. It was opened in 1860 and closed 100 years later. The railway carried by the rail bed and bridges was essential to the production of bricks bringing in ash and coke and taking away bricks. The railway line is now a footpath and the original railway bridges along this route are retained. The former railway bridge on the Worthing Road has been reimagined into a wildlife space with bat and bug boxes inside and planters on the front. The brickwork of the bridge is now adorned with butterflies, bees, caterpillars and ladybirds designed by the local school children. The former railway line and bridges are considered to be an asset to Southwater and as such meet the criteria to be designated as a Parish Heritage Asset. {8} Sources (1) List: Clark RH. 1964.

Nothing to suggest burials turned up during post 1930 building of houses in the area.{1} {2} Drainage work in the area in 1970 produced nothing significant.{3} The term 'Heathen Burial Place', frequently occurs on late Saxon land charter bounds. Whilst this may refer to pagan Saxon cemeteries it is known that in the late Saxon and early Medieval periods heathens, i.e. persons not permitted to be buried in a church, such as criminals, were buried in cemeteries near the parish boundary. This name occurs on the Bramber/Steyning parish boundary.{4} Sources (1) Bibliographic reference: OS. 1935. TQ11SE46. (2) Bibliographic reference: 1935.

Description and Sources Description Area centred TQ187 105. In Barbican House Museum, Lewes, (Portfolio 1 49/A). A coloured excavation plan of work carried out 'near Bramber Castle in 1908-9'. It bears the name of the surveyor 'HS Toms'. It is difficult to locate the site precisely but it appears to be a plot on the S side of the High street, perhaps at TQ18741060. On the back of the plan is written 'B & H AC Repert 1924 p.5 No.14'. The Brighton and Hove Archaeological Club Report for 1924 page 5 is a list of drawings belonging to the club, and includes as No.14 a 'Plan of Excavations made by Mr CW Catt on terrace S of Bramber Castle 1908-9'. The B & HAC Annual Reports 1909-10 show the Mr Catt was digging in 1908-9. The excavation appears to be unpublished. In Brighton Museum, and listed by Barton, are two Medieval pottery 'pans' from Bramber Castle which may be from this, or a nearby, site.<1> A sketch map and notes on the back of a letter from HS Toms to H Sands indicates the site of the excavation immediately S of Bramber Castle on the S side of the road in the area centred TQ18551053.{2}{3} Activity Reference - 1 = WS225 Sources (1) Bibliographic reference: Aldsworth FG. 1975.

Description and Sources Description Medieval salt working mounds on both sides of the Adur N. of Beeding Bridge. Similar to those S. of the bridge (see 3172).{1}
Centred at TQ187 107 and TQ193 115 on both banks of the Adur, two groups of Medieval salt working sites. The former consists of some nine mounds measuring up to 40m across and 1.7m high. The latter group (on the E. side of the river) comprises some 22 mounds, three of which were destroyed in 1972. They measure up to 40m across and 0.8m high. Both groups are on the flood plain of the Adur, which is now drained and under pasture. The precise limits of the mounds is difficult to define, but they vary in shape from oval to crescentic.{2}
Described as four areas: Site 5 Bramber (South). Site 6 Bramber (North). Site 6A Upper Beeding (West of R. Adur). Site 7 Upper Beeding (North).{3}
The monument falls into four seperate areas and includes a group of medieval salterns and an area of associated earthworks which have been interpreted as a contemporary moat, situated on the western bank of the River Adur. Before the river was embanked during the post-medieval period, the salterns lay within the floodplain of the tidal estuary on land periodically inundated by salt water. The saltern is represented by nine unevenly-shaped middens, or artificial heaps of waste silt and clay discarded after brine extraction. These survive to heights of up to c.1m. Investigations of similar middens elsewhere indicate that they will partly overlie, and will be surrounded by, industrial structures suriving in buried form. These may include wicker or clay-lined pits, evaporation kilns, lead boiling pans and the foundations of temporary wooden buildings. Documentary sources suggest that the monument originally formed part of a larger group of salterns granted by William de Baose, the founder of Bramber Castle, to Durford Abbey on its foundation in c.1160. The other salterns of the group are believed to have been destroyed by the construction of the buildings along The Street, which lies to the south of the monument, and by agricultural operations.ü The possible moated site lies within the south eastern sector and is represented by a roughly square artificial island with sides measuring c.61m. Operations associated with the dredging of adjacent field drains duringü 1973-74 indicated that traces of medieval buildings may survive on the island. The island is surrounded by a narrow, shallow, now mainly dry ditch. Regular dredging of the modern field drain immediately to the south and west of the southern part of the monument has resulted in a linear dump of dredged material along its northern bank. This has partly obscured the profile of the south western edge of the monument.ü The pumping station in the SE. section is excluded from the scheduling.ü Revised scheduling, new number of 29253, formerly 391. New name of, Group of salterns and a possible moat 250m east of Bramber Castle. Was Medieval Salterns. Revised 10-7-97.{4}
Medieval saltworking mounds situated on both sides of the River Adur north of Beeding Bridge. The area to the west of the river consists of nine mounds up to 40m across and 1.7m high. This area also includes the possible remains of a medieval moat indicated by debris found during the dragging of sewer trenches. The area to the east of the river north of Upper Beeding comprises at least 23 mounds (3 of which were destroyed in 1972), they measure up to 40m across and 0.8m high. The third area is in Saltings field, also on the east bank. This cosists of four mounds up to 1m high. Scheduled. The earthwork and cropmark remains of numerous of these saltern mounds were mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: South Downs NMP project.

Discussion in relation to existence of a possible moated site and the presence of"medieval-type saltern mounds" nearby. The earthwork and cropmark/soilmark remains of 37 individual saltern mounds from the three separate areas described by the previous authorites were recorded and mapped from a variety of historical aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: South Downs NMP project. The earliest photographs taken in 1946-8 by the RAF show many of the salterns as extant mounds with associated drains, but subsequent ploughing has reduced most to slight mounds or spreads of lighter material visible as soilmarks. All earthwork and cropmark remains depicted on associated mapping are taken from the English Heritage National Mapping Programme shapefiles; for exact monument type of each line/polygon see the NMP shapefiles. {5} {6} {7} Sources (1) Bibliographic reference: Holden EW. 1962.

Description and Sources Description An archaeological evaluation was undertaken within a plot of land to the rear of Penfold Way, Steyning. The plot comprised two terraces with the lowest terrace consisting largely of levelling material and colluvium overlying Head deposits which in tern overlay Lower Chalk. The higher terrace comprised topsoil and colluvium overlying chalk. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were observed. The steep scarp slope separating the terraces was found to be a lynchet forming an old field boundary, probably of 18th century date. No evidence was found to suggest that the medieval town extended this far. Equaly, no evidence was found of the brewing and tanning industries that once existed in the locality. {1} Sources (1) Grey Literature Report: Archaeology South-East. 2001.

The work took place during 25th March and 12th April 2013 however no archaeological finds or features were identified during the watching brief.
