Flint mine and part of a cross dyke 300m south east of Tolmare Farm is a Neolithic flint extraction site located in Sussex, England. The monument comprises evidence of prehistoric flint mining activity, representing an important resource exploitation site from the Neolithic period when flint was quarried for the manufacture of tools and implements. The cross dyke element suggests later defensive or territorial modifications to the landscape, though the primary significance of the site rests with its flint mining features. Such sites are archaeological records of early industrial activity and demonstrate the sophistication of Neolithic communities in exploiting natural geological resources.
