the end of the Harbour to the Morals, cannot be faid .; 
by reafon the Ground between has for many Ages been 
ijn Tillage. It is eafy to imagin of what importance 
a Town fortified at this i lace mud have been in ihofe 
Ages, when the only Pafs by Land from the Wed to 
the tad End of the County was through it ; for other 
there could not be, in many Miles North ; unlefs the 
Lands, in that Tratd, which are dill very owzy and ten- 
der, had been well drain’d. 
As the Situation deferib’d, render’d this Place drong; 
it is very pleafant withal ; for the Ground is high enough 
for a good Frofpetd of the Low Lands adjoining, and 
the Country towards Battell ; befides, it has a comman- 
ding View over that Bay,- which is between Beachy f/ead 
and Haftings, If the Ufe made of it by the Romans, 
was to guard the Coad, there was this Advantage be- 
longing to it ; that a Centjnel on the top of Bcachj, not 
Two- Miles from it, in a cleat Day, without turning 
his Body, might fee the J(le of Wight, the Hills in France 
near Bologn, and the Nir/r in Kent , fo that from the Nefs 
to. Selfey it muft have been a (mall Sail that could efcape 
his Eye. It was my purpofe to have added a Defeription 
of feven/ey-CMe ; together with an Account of Tome 
Rjcmains of Antiquity, difeover’d lad Summer towards 
the Wed End of the County : But having been too te- 
dious already, mud defer that for the prelent, and fub- 
dribe my feif 
Toftr moft humble Servant^
