Heading eastwards up Long Hill from the junction with Longhill Road. With the western end of Ovingdean Road being narrow and winding in places through traffic is encouraged to head south. The house on the right above the wall was built on the site of a former chalk pit marked on the 1873 OS map as an old pit. The junction also marks an unofficial boundary between the old village and the newer residential area developed from the 1920s onwards.
