Quick facts
It is described as the largest hillfort in Sussex, with ramparts that enclose roughly 24 to 26 hectares of open downland.
Beneath the grass lie some of the earliest flint mines in Britain, among the biggest on the South Downs.
The path along the top gives views north over the Weald and south along the Sussex coast, and the site is National Trust land open to walkers.
