Description

NRHE data transfer: There were no World Heritage Sites within the area. There were nine Scheduled Monuments within 5km of the site. The monuments of relevance to the barrier wall were the coastal fish weir at Pewet Island (approximately 1km from the barrier wall), the coastal fish weir at northern end of the Nass (approximately 1.9km from the barrier wall), the Saxon coastal fish weir at Sales Point (approximately 3.7km from the barrier wall), and coastal fish weirs at West Mersea (approx 3km from the barrier wall). There were a number of Listed Buildings within 5km of the site, including St. Peters Chapel (Grade I Listed) however, they were not relevant to this study. There were 21 features of archaeological interest. These included a variety of features ranging from an important Neolithic settlement on the coastal foreshore to modern World War II coastal defences (pill boxes). None of these were considered relevant to the removal of the barrier wall. Note: The NRHE record incorrectly maps this event to TL 80500 23500, which corresponds to a location in Bradwell, Braintree and not the Bradwell-on-Sea, Maldon, where this event took place. The full list of 21 archaeological features of interest is also not included in the NRHE record, and it has not been possible to obtain the original report to determine these. This record has been linked to the named monuments in the description txt provided by the NRHE, but it must be noted that other, presently unknown, monuments were also assessed.
