Whitehawk Camp - Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure
Manor Hill, Brighton & Hove, East Sussex, BN2 9YG
Situated in a commanding position above East Brighton, close to the Race Course, lays one of Britain's earliest Stone Age monuments. The hill top here was chosen some 5,650 years ago as the site for a large ceremonial enclosure, an area for undertaking feasting, burials and communing.
Dating to c. 3,650 B.C. the monument represents one of the earliest ritual circles in the UK. Join Jon Sygrave from UCL's Institute of Archaeology for a c.60 minute guided tour of this unique part of Brighton & Hove's heritage. The tour will provide an introduction to the early British Neolithic in Sussex and the layout and significance of the Whitehawk enclosure.
