Firle Beacon

Firle Beacon is a hill in the South Downs of southern England.

When the prevailing wind is northerly, the site is often used for gliding activities like slope soaring.

[2] Round barrows generally date from the early Bronze Age.

[2][4] There are other round barrows within a kilometre of Firle Beacon, to the west and east.

Legend suggests a giant called Gill was cut on this hill and considered an adversary of the nearby Long Man of Wilmington;[6] one story says the Firle Beacon giant threw his hammer at the Wilmington giant and killed him, and the hill figure marks this site.
