One of a pair of large ramparts running along the eastern edge of a spur to the west of Mount Caburn. They date back to the Bronze Age and in fact predate the works on Mount Caburn. The possibility is they were works to delineate a boundary though the spur was settled by the Romano-British in the 2nd century and may have been turned into protective earthworks then though there are no longer any signs of similar works on the side facing Lewes. The farm track follows the curve of the earthworks around the southern side too.
