Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The recently completed Beachy Head--Lewes NMP project was one of several analysis projects undertaken by Aerial Investigation and Mapping staff in the new South Downs National Park. For one small area of downland, the team found themselves mapping directly from vertical aerial photographs arising from one of the earliest systematic aerial surveys undertaken in the British Isles. These were taken in 1925, under circumstances explained in this article, and after the Second World War were passed to OGS Crawford, leader of the newly established Ordnance Survey Archaeology Division. One area that Crawford looked at, along with Cecil Curwen, was the block of downland centred on Windover Hill, about four miles north-east of Eastbourne. The best-known monument in this area is the 'Long Man of Wilmington', which today comprises an arrangement of concrete blocks laid out in 1969 over the approximate outline of a turf-cut figure last seen in the 1870s, and for which a prehistoric date has been argued. Examination of the 1925 aerial photographs has allowed reinterpretation of the landscape around the Long Man, removing some of the supporting evidence for a Neolithic date. Ongoing documentary research, aspects of the figure's layout and recent excavation evidence may point towards a post-medieval origin. LD | ||||||||
