Combe Hill, East Sussex

Combe Hill is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure on the South Downs near Eastbourne, East Sussex, dating to c. 3700–3500 BC [1]. It features an inner circuit of ditches and banks, incomplete where a steep slope interrupts it on the north side, plus remains of an outer circuit [1]. Causewayed enclosures are defined by discontinuous ditches creating gaps or causeways; their function remains unknown, though they may have served as settlements, gathering sites, or ritual locations [1].
