The southern edge of Saxon Down skirts a steep drop at Saxon Cross. Dense undergrowth protects the edge, but as it ends the ground drops away to the Weald below.GF cannot find much about Saxon Down, but it is scattered with tumuli, so obviously had some significance to ancient or medieval man.
On the eastern side of the Down is track (possibly called Week Lane), carved deeply into the chalk by years of use. As it climbs around the high point, the side of the hill is scarred by old quarrying and the spoil heaps that were left.
