Park Mound (Park Mount)
‘There is a tradition in the parish of Pulborough of a fairy’s funeral, and the very place of burial is pointed out to you. It is at the top of a green mound, known by the name of the Mount, and it would be hard to find a more fitting spot for such a funeral train to assemble at.’ [‘Some West Sussex Superstitions Lingering in 1868’, by Mrs Latham]
The assembly point referred to is known as Park Mount or Park Mound in Pulborough and is the earthwork remains of a Norman motte ad bailey castle, that measures 75m across and 25m in height.
