1/. Background This year’s surveying course will take place on the Murray Downland Trust Nature Reserve at Heyshott Down, West Sussex [NGR SU 9065 1651 (central)], in November 2012. The site is situated to the north east of the West Dean Estate, on the southern boundary of the Cowdray Estate and the northern boundary of the Goodwood Estate. The course will involve surveying the topography of, and monuments on, a c. 150 x 100m block of downland located along the northern ridge of the South Downs escarpment, overlooking the Weald. At least nine Bronze Age barrows and possibly two more are located in the survey area, which also contains four cross ridge dykes, a further series of dykes is located 175m to the east of the survey area (Figs. 1, 2). As well as the academic teaching aims of the course (see below), the research aim is to provide an up to date topographic survey of the monuments, subsidiary monuments, and their immediate landscape setting. The data generated will be combined with that already compiled in the Historic Environment Record (HER), and will form part of a complete, integrated, topographic and monument survey of the downland block between the Rivers Arun and Lavant.
