CHANCTONBURY, an ancient camp in Wiston parish, Sussex; on one of the Downs, 814 feet high, 3½ miles W by N of Steyning. It has a dark clump of trees; and figures in the landscape views of half the county. It is circular, and may have been originally British; but it lies near a Roman road running east and west, and has yielded Roman coins. The prospect from it is extensive, panoramic, and grand.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
