Ah Devils Dyke!
Where legend says the Devil is buried With His Wife!
I wondered if this was a Xtian conversion of the two Giants of Wilmington.
The Longman and the lost Windover hill figure.

Hi Littlestone,

While in the Brighton area, you might want to check out the churches at Stanmer, Falmer and Ditchling. All of these have loads of Sarsens about, including what look like recumbent 'altar stones' at Stanmer and Ditchling.

And if you are going to Devils Dyke, you might check out Wolstonbury and tell us what you reckon!
