Cissbury, Sussex

Historical Description

Cissbury, an ancient camp in Sussex, on the Downs, 4 miles NNW of Worthing. It crowns an oval-shaped hill; follows the hill's outline, occupies about 60 acres, and has a single deep trench, with high broad rampart. It probably took its name from the Saxon Cissa, but it has furnished evidence of having been occupied by the Romans.

Transcribed from The Comprehensive Gazetteer of England & Wales, 1894-5
