Cissbury Ring

Cissbury Ring is an Iron Age hillfort (2nd largest in southern England). Enclosed in the fenced inner rampart are 24ha of earthworks constructed with simple hand tools. It would have been a formidable stronghold for its people in times of threat.

Cissbury Ring rises to approximately 213 meters above sea level and is situated on chalk downland, reflecting the geology of the South Downs. As the second-largest Iron Age hillfort in southern England, it provides important insights into prehistoric settlement and defense strategies in the region.
