Whitehawk Camp, Neolithic causewayed enclosure in Brighton and Hove, England.
The enclosure features four concentric rings with interrupted ditches spanning 100 meters across the chalk hills of South Downs.
Dating back 5,500 years, this Stone Age monument preceded Stonehenge by 1000 years and stands as one of Britain's earliest human settlements.
Excavations revealed complete female skeletons, pottery fragments, and animal bones, indicating the site's role in ancient burial practices and communal gatherings.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site via bus routes 21 and 37, with limited street parking available near the Brighton Racecourse grandstand.
The third bank remains the most complete section, measuring 11 meters wide and 1.5 meters high, with traces of interrupted ditches around it.
