Derelict cattle crush The cattle were driven along an alley from the right, and trapped by the neck by a lever operated gate in order to subject them to some indignity or the other. They were then released to the left. There were no cattle to be seen in this area, it is largely sheep and arable now.

Slight earthwork near bridleway As usual, hard to photograph unless a low sun gives good shadows, not the case here. This seems to be one of two bowl barrows &#039;reduced in height by ploughing&#039; so &#039;no more than 0.3 m high&#039; which are listed as Ancient Monuments hereabouts.

As usual, hard to photograph unless a low sun gives good shadows, not the case here. This seems to be one of two bowl barrows 'reduced in height by ploughing' so 'no more than 0.3 m high' which are listed as Ancient Monuments hereabouts.

Five Lords' Burgh with two boundary stones A bowl barrow, a scheduled Ancient Monument. It is currently the meeting point of three parishes, South Heighton, Alciston and Alfriston. In Victorian times there were four parishes; Denton has been absorbed into South Heighton. Historic England relay the story that there were once five parishes, hence the name. The near stone has &#039;L G&#039; or possibly &#039;L C&#039; on it.
