Offham Hill causewayed enclosure is a Neolithic monument located in East Sussex, dating to the early fourth millennium BCE. The site comprises a series of interrupted ditches arranged in a roughly circular plan, a characteristic feature of causewayed enclosures of this period. Such enclosures are believed to have served as meeting places, stock enclosures, or ceremonial centres for Neolithic communities, though their precise function remains subject to scholarly debate. Offham Hill represents an important example of early Neolithic settlement and ceremonial activity in the South Downs region.
