The flint mines on Windover Hill are a Neolithic monument comprising a series of shaft mines worked into the chalk bedrock during the fourth millennium BC. These extraction sites represent important evidence of organised flint procurement in prehistoric Sussex, with shafts sunk to access high-quality flint nodules suitable for tool manufacture. The mines demonstrate the technological capabilities and resource management practices of Neolithic communities in southern England, reflecting the significant value placed on flint as a raw material for domestic and specialist tool production. Their proximity to The Long Man indicates a landscape rich in prehistoric activity and settlement during the Neolithic period.
