The Trundle is a large Iron Age hillfort on St Roche's Hill near Singleton, Sussex. The polygonal hillfort encloses an area of 14 acres, and its defences survive in the form of a bank measuring approximately 10ft wide and up to 6ft high, surrounded by a ditch and a counterscarp bank. The Iron Age defences enclose and partly overlie the remains of an earlier Neolithic causewayed enclosure dating from around 3300 BC. On the hilltop also are the remains of a small chapel dedicated to the 14th century French saint, St Roche, renowned for his miraculous powers of curing sufferers from the plague, and after whom the hill is named. The site is within the council area of Chichester (West Sussex).
