A HISTORY OF SUSSEX XXw,„ White Hawk Camp. White Hawk Camp, an interesting work situated at the southern end of the Racecourse at Brighton, The construction of the racecourse has caused some destruction of the northern part, but enough remains to show that there has been a double vallum following a somewhat irregular circle. On one part of the east side, however, the vallum was single. There was probably once an outwork on the south side which has been destroyed. Chanc- tonbury Ring, and other prominent hill-top camps in the neighbourhood, are clearly visible from this point. Neolithic implements and flakes are abundant. White Hawk Camp is just about one mile to the north-east of Brighton Pavilion. HOLLINGBURY, Or HoLLINGBURY CaSTLE, as it is sometimes called, lies less than three miles to the north of Brighton Pavilion. Although marked ' Roman ' on the ordnance survey map, it possesses all the usual character- istics of a hill-top camp. In form it may be described as a very irregular circle with four rounded angles. It has a well-defined rampart with a fosse on the outer side. The inner level of the camp is higher than the outer level, and it is clear that the form of the defences has been determined by the con- tour of the surface, although there is no very pronounced natural slope except on the east side of the camp. Evidences of the manufacture of neo- lithic implements have been observed near this camp, whilst actually within its boundary a hoard of Bronze Age implements was discovered some years ago. There is at the south-west side of / the camp an ancient hollow-way which was probably connected with one of the entrances. Hollingbury ' Castle ' has in recent J years been acquired by the Corporation of Brighton, and every care is being taken to keep it intact. Mount Caburn. — On the detached spur of chalk downs imme- diately to the east of Lewes, there are two hill-top camps, one known as Mount Caburn, being of special importance. The eminence called Mount Caburn is a bold, conical, and regularly-shaped hill immediately to the north of the railway, half-way between Lewes and Glynde stations. The earthworks which occupy the highest point of the hill are visible from the railway. The earthwork, or camp proper, occu- pies a nearly perfectly circular space or platform at the top of the 458 Hollingbury Castle.
