Summary
| Description |
English:
Workings at Cissbury Ring This is the south-western side and lowest part of the ring. The depression seen here is the site of one of the former flint mines. These would have been dug as deep pits through the layers of chalk and poor flint to a good seam of flint about 30 feet below. This would have been worked out horizontally, and hauled to the surface here, within the safety of the ring fortifications. Flints were used as tools and weapons. This was all stone age stuff, 5,000 years ago.
