JohnLindsay visited on 1st Mar 2012 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 The bus 50 to the surestart or the 26, 46 to Hollingbury Park, or the 79 to Ditchling Beacon on Sundays and soon, Saturdays, one per hour, from the Railway Station. I was trying to work out whether you can see Ditchling Beacon from Hollingbury, and vice versa.
Now I have to go to Curwe, Archaeology of Sussex, 1934, and then try to track the literature in the Brighton History Centre and Senate House.

Ditchling road is the one that runs out of town between the London Road and Lewes road and goes up a hill - for a long way There are two car parks, or you can park just off the road near the golf course and walk across to the Hillfort The Hill fort is at the very top of the hill and still has its original ditches and barrows
