The geology of East Sussex is defined by the Weald–Artois anticline, a 60 kilometres (37 mi) wide and 100 kilometres (62 mi) long fold within which caused the arching up of the chalk into a broad dome within the middle Miocene, [1] which has subsequently been eroded to reveal a lower Cretaceous to Upper Jurassic stratigraphy.
