The flint mines on Windover Hill are a Neolithic monument located in Sussex near The Long Man of Wilmington. These mines represent evidence of systematic flint extraction during the Neolithic period, when flint was a crucial raw material for tool manufacture and trade across prehistoric Britain. The site consists of shallow mine workings where Neolithic peoples exploited seams of high-quality flint, extracting the stone through surface and shallow subsurface excavation. The mines demonstrate the organised nature of Neolithic resource exploitation and the importance of flint procurement to prehistoric communities in southern England.
