Mount Caburn Fort
Mount Caburn Fort
Mount Caburn is a 480-foot (146m) isolated peak, one of the highest landmarks in East Sussex, England, about one mile (1.6 km) east of Lewes overlooking the village of Glynde

On the summit of Caburn are the remains of an Iron Age hill fort. The hill fort has been repeatedly excavated, by Augustus Pitt Rivers (1877–78), the Curwens (1925—26), the Curwens again (1937–38), and latterly by the Sussex Archaeological Society (1996–98). It may be the most excavated site in Britain, with no fewer than 170 trenches. LinkExternal link
