Barkhale Camp is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located near Patching in West Sussex. Dating to the early Neolithic period, approximately 3700 to 3500 BCE, the monument consists of three concentric rings of ditches with causeways crossing them at intervals, a characteristic feature of causewayed enclosures found across southern England. The site likely served communal purposes including gatherings, stock management, and ceremonial functions. Barkhale Camp represents an important example of early agricultural settlement patterns in Sussex and contributes to understanding Neolithic social organisation and land use in southern Britain.
