Barkhale

Causewayed Enclosure

Folklore

"A dragon once lived on Bignor Hill, where ridges made by its coils can be seen."
It doesn't seem wholly unlikely that this folklore could refer to the enclosure, which is slightly along the ridge from Bignor Hill. The area also has many Bronze age barrows. Folklore from the Sussex County Magazine, III, 1929, p552, by F.J. Bulstrode.
