The published co-ordinates are for the approximate location of the Ditchling Patrol's WW2 underground hideout.

The entrance to the hideout is next to a public footpath so it is easy to see it up close.

Like so many of the other hideouts, the main chamber has collapsed. It's deep! So don't fall in.

Nope! Not even if you say "Aw, go on! Let me!".

You can gain lots of very interesting information regarding this and other underground hideouts by searching:
Ditchling Patrol (Auxiliary Units) and Secret Sussex Resistance

This hideout is one of the best examples that I have seen so far. The walk to it lovely but can be a bit muddy when wet.
