The ‘Prehistoric linear boundary’ (or Cross Ridge Dyke in old money).
Easily spottable from the bowl barrow (just to the SE) despite the trees.
The Bowl Barrow viewed from the foot path, facing East (ish)

A photo from the 20’s, looking west. This is when the site was only partly overlaid by allotments and paths, prior to it’s wholesale mash up during the 30’s, 50’s 60’s and 90’s by greedy bastard property developers. It is now largely covered by a notorious housing estate.

A photo looking SE taken in 1928. I think she (the hill) looks particularly curvy and sexy from this angle, the dew pond making a perfect navel. Phwoar!

A view from the bowl barrows, across the site of the enclosure, facing NE.
Bit of a dark photo, but you get an idea of the damage wrought by the flint mining by the pitting of the ground. Facing South.
Another view of western bank and inner ditch. West Hill and Newtimber Hill in background.
Looking south west Wolstonbury outer enclosure.
