The Gibbet
The name of the wood in view which did not appear on Findon's 1839 tithe map or early OS maps, the first reference being 1911. The name appears to relate to the killing of foxes and pheasants as opposed to humans.

Sheep Down (2)
The name of the field according to Findon's 1839 tithe map and the opposite view of Image Tolamre Farm Bungalow is amongst the trees that form the wood known as The Gibbet at the bottom of the slope. Beyond is the village of Findon with Cissbury Ring prominent on the skyline. The field is also the site of a former Roman well discovered in 1961 when the ground around it collapsed as a farmer was ploughing the field. Its position tied in with the known site of a Romano-British farm just beyond the small peak. The well was investigated over the next decade and found to be 270 feet in depth, the deepest Roman well that had been discovered at the time, and dry with no artifacts discovered that dated beyond the 1st century which suggests either an abandonment of the farm or the dropping of the water table. The well was eventually capped with concrete.

The Huntsman's Cottage
The house is located on Longfurlong, the A280 next to the cricket ground. The current dwelling is a rebuild from around 2005 replacing an older structure of the same name that dated from the early 19th century. It was originally built along with the neighbouring kennels as a home for the master huntsman and the hunt's pack of dogs. There are still kennels here today but they are for boarding for family pets.

Kennel Bottom Cricket Ground
Home to Findon Cricket Club since 1867 when it was donated by a local landowner. The pitch is built on a slope and initially took six years to level into a decent playing surface leaving a large bank behind the pavilion to the left. To the right is a small camping area. The name of the ground derives from a set of kennels once owned by nearby Findon Place that lie beyond the trees to the right.
