Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bush Wall The raised bank on the left of the sewer is a surviving part of a great medieval sea wall constructed in 1332 to prevent flooding in the Wittersham Levels by both fresh and tidal waters. Known then as the Knelle Dam it ensured the Rother would head north around the Isle of Oxney. It remained in use until 1635 when it was intentionally breached to allow the Rother to run south. Part of the dam now carries the road through Potman's Heath whilst the rest has been reworked into the current defences. |
