The Smugglers Table
In Charlton Forest, which stands on the northern edge of the South Downs near the village of Cocking in West Sussex, there used to stand a group of stones called "The Smugglers Table". This feature has now disappeared and replaced with a fir tree, but a local man said that the table was used by the smugglers to hide their casks of spirits [Beckett 1943 p.62]. The description of these stones as a table and the ability to hide goods inside it suggest that this may have been a dolmen like tomb.
