Cissbury, approaching from the north. The faint notch on the skyline near the right edge of the picture marks the west end of the hillfort.
Ditto, but this time the east end of the hillfort is at the extreme left edge of the picture (to judge the size of the hillfort, the blue car is in the same position on both pictures)
