Mount Caburn, Iron Age hillfort in Glynde, England
Mount Caburn rises 150 meters above sea level, featuring multiple defensive ramparts and ditches on its northern slopes overlooking the South Downs landscape.
Archaeological excavations between 1877 and 1998 revealed over 140 burial pits containing weapons, tools, pottery, coins, and human remains from the middle Iron Age.
Local tales mention the Devil formed Mount Caburn by throwing earth while digging Devil's Dyke, connecting the site to regional folklore traditions.
