Highdown Hill

A multi-period archaeological site on an 81-metre chalk hill in West Sussex, featuring a Bronze Age Ram's Hill type enclosure, an Iron Age univallate hillfort refortified c. 270-300 AD, and a major Anglo-Saxon mixed-rite cemetery. The cemetery, discovered in the 1890s, yielded over 200 burials from the 5th-6th centuries AD with an unusual number of glass objects, including a 4th-century Alexandrian glass vase inscribed in Greek with 'Use Me and Good Health to You'. The site suffered damage from a WWII radar station and the 1987 Great Storm.
