===Highdole Hill=== [[File:Old_sheepfold_between_Highdole_Hill_and_Fore_Hill_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1866009.jpg|thumb|Old sheepfold between Highdole Hill and Fore Hill]] You can walk to Highdole Hill ({{Gbmappingsmall|TQ 397 045}}) up the spine of Telscombe Tye. At the summit you have views of the sea, distant glimpses of the Weald and white cliffs and what strikes many walkers is the silence because, despite its height, the sound of roads do not reach here. The lost Romano-British village of Isenden sits on the hill. In the 1930s it was excavated and Roman bronze, iron, tiles, querns, pottery and two bronze coins were found. The huts of the village on the hilltop seem to have been arranged around a banked roadway, with other roadways nearby and many small fields and barrows. The findings suggested that the village was occupied shortly before the Roman invasion and abandoned in about AD 350. It is now a designated [[scheduled monument]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|title=Highdole Hill, Romano-British settlement, Telscombe, East Sussex|url=https://ancientmonuments.uk/100485-highdole-hill-romano-british-settlement-telscombe|access-date=2021-12-15|website=Ancient Monuments}}</ref> Unfortunately, modern ploughing has destroyed most of these remains.<ref>Holleyman G.A.,(1936) ‘An early British agricultural village site on Highdole Hill, near Telscombe’ .
