Lunce's Common
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 17 Apr 2011
The last remaining common in the parish of Wivelsfield. This is the southern section that has been left alone from grazing to become woodland. Much like Chailey there are ridges to the south which mark the centuries old routes of cattle entering and exit the common. There are also pits, the common was to contain sandstone which was duly excavated to provide materials for nearby houses, a gravel pit to the north was known to provide material for the old turnpike, now the B2112.
