it has never been fully excavated. most of the knowlege has been extracted from some work that was done when the hotel complex was redeveloped in the 80s. my great grand parent were gypsies and i just put a curse on you. anyway...the whole of the western end and eastern extreme are unexcavated which leads me to think that this could be a much older site (neolithic) than the visible iron age fortifications. Cissbury and Whitehawk are two examples of this though there is no evidence of flintmines the fact that you can see cissbury to the west suggests a connection, at least in iron age terms.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
