Research and responses

During September/ October of 1867 Pitt Rivers undertook a survey of Sussex hillforts which he published in 1869 as ‘An examination into the characters and probable origins of the hill forts of Sussex.’ Archaeologia 42:27-52. It seems likely that these items were collected during this time [CB 8/12/2009]
