An archaeological Desk-based Assessment has been carried out at Bridge Point, Rock Channel, Rye, East Sussex in connection with a pre-planning application for the proposed demolition of the existing dwelling and associated outbuildings on the site and the construction of four or five new residential units. The Desk-based Assessment has established that the Site was reclaimed from marshland or mudflats in perhaps the 18th century. The land in the vicinity of the Site had a road running through it to meet the Winchelsea road on the opposite south bank of the River Brede. Bridge Point presumably takes its name from this bridge, which was replaced with another further upstream in the early 19th century. The road may have continued in use in a degenerate form until the Site was first built upon in around the 1930's. Bridge Point cottage was built by the early 1960's. The Site has a high potential for containing Post Medieval remains, which may survive well in those areas of the Site that have not been built upon but are proposed for development.
