Hello,
Adurni was originally in the 17th century ascribed to Shoreham (River Adur).
This is thought to be WRONG! And it is 99% wrong. Not worth mentioning
really.
The port is Portus ladda (Portslade). The evidence for a hill fort is very
slight, one mention of a castle in Norman literature.
ardu = height? which could mean a fort anywhere.
Cheers
Andy Horton.
