The distinctive imprint of a Neolithic causewayed enclosure is evident within the polygonal circuit of the Iron Age Trundle #WestSussex as slight earthworks and as dark lines to the SW in this early air photo from the 1930s in @SAS_Library @sussex_society

The hillfort above Chichester #WestSussex is today known as the Trundle (from Tryndel *circle*) but was originally called ‘Rooks Hill’, after the chapel of St Roche built here in 1475 to deliver the city from the plague #HillfortsWednesday
