The South Downs Way cuts across the southern end of Plumpton and nearby is the site of an early Bronze Age settlement North of the track is a grassed-over excavation in the chalk hillside in the shape of a cross with sandstone block at its centre, this commemorates the Battle of Lewes, which was fought near the spot in 1264.
The cross is visible only in the early morning or when the sun is low in the afternoon. Two miles from the old village is Plumpton Green, a newer community that has grown up beside the railway station and the well-known National Hunt racecourse.
