Torberry Hill

Torberry Hill (also spelled Tarberry Hill and Torbery Hill) is an Iron Age hillfort in the county of West Sussex, in southern England [1]. The hill fort is located within the parish of Harting, within the South Downs National Park [1]. The hill is a chalk spur projecting northwards from the South Downs [1]. The fort was partially excavated in 1948 and from 1956 to 1958 [1]. The fort has been damaged by ploughing in the early post-medieval period, and the rampart survives as a low bank and a largely ploughed-in ditch [1]. The interior of the fort contained a number of infilled storage pits; potsherds recovered from them date them to the Iron Age [1]. Other finds from Torberry Hill include a curry comb, two knives, an iron spearhead and a horn weaving-comb; all these artefacts were placed in Lewes museum [1].
