Beacon Hill, West Sussex

As well as the Bronze Age remains, the area of the fort also includes an Anglo-Saxon burial mound, and the foundations of a late 18th-century telegraph station.

The hillfort is situated on the top of the hill and is defined by a single rampart and a flat-bottomed ditch,[3] which survives as a low bank up to 6 metres (20 ft) wide.

On the east and west sides, erosion has reduced the rampart to a scarp, with the ditch silted in to form a terrace.

[3] Investigation of the interior revealed a general lack of features except for traces a number of small four- and six-posted structures.

It stood in the southeastern corner of the fort; excavation in 1976 uncovered a burial, disturbed by earlier antiquarian digging.

[2] When Harting Beacon fell into disuse, it may have been replaced by the nearby Iron Age hillfort at Torberry Hill.
