Guided Archaeology Walk: Highdown Hill with James Sainsbury

About

Join The Sussex Archaeological Society for a Guided Archaeology Walk at Highdown Hill, Worthing, with James Sainsbury, Local Historian, Curator of Archaeology at Worthing Museum and Director of Arun Valley Archaeology Project on Saturday 1st April from 9.30am.

Highdown Hill dominates the coastal plain, with views from the Isle of Wight to the Seven Sisters. People have been drawn to this eminence for thousands of years, with archaeological finds from all eras discovered at the site. Perhaps the most famous are the remains of over 200 Anglo-Saxon settlers, who were buried with rich grave goods. Recently these remains have been studied using modern techniques, with exciting results.

This is a shorter walk with a moderate climb to the top of the hill.

Full details on where to meet will be provided upon booking.

£7.50 per person.
