Sunday 26th April: The Caburn – “Pits, Ramparts and Lynchets”
A venture onto the Lewes Downs with views over the beautiful Ouse Valley. The Caburn is an impressive Iron Age hillfort that has seen extensive excavations over the last 150 years. It is a rare example of a hill fort that seems to have been reused in later times of emergency.
The Caburn sits on a fascinating block of Downland, with numerous archaeological features still visible in the grassy landscape, including 4000 year old barrow cemeteries. This walk involves a long steep climb at the beginning (and a long easy descent at the end!)
James is the Curator of Archaeology at Worthing Museum and the Project Director for the Highdown Big Dig 2025.
4 miles – hard difficulty.
Meeting point – Glynde village car park, immediately north of Glynde Bridge. The post code for this car park is BN8 6SS.
