The Cuilfail Spiral

Out for tea and cake in Lewes today. This is at the opening to the Cuilfail Tunnel in Lewes. (A bit of a rushed car blip as we sped round the roundabout.)

More info -

"A spiral form constructed from seven pieces of Portland Stone set on a brick plinth that forms part of the roundabout at the entrance to the tunnel.
The design is suggestive of an ammonite or snail - ammonite fossils are found in the surrounding chalk cliffs.
On the brick wall on Phoenix Causeway, opposite the sculpture, a bronze plaque:
