Land Traces

You might be forgiven for thinking that the Rottingdean long barrow was actually two small, lowly, conjoined round barrows, but that’s because it’s been severely hacked about over the last 4,000 years and almost lost. It was also partly truncated by the local cricket club at some point when they extended their pitch to avoid losing cricket balls over the cliff. It’s even reputed that local resident Rudyard Kipling (creator of exceedingly good cakes) once stood upon the barrow before pootling off home to write a poem.
