Hilltop enclosure and linear boundary on Bow Hill is a prehistoric monument situated in Sussex, England, comprising an enclosed settlement and associated linear earthwork. The site consists of a roughly circular or polygonal enclosure positioned on elevated ground, together with a linear boundary feature that extends from the main enclosure. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, when such hilltop settlements served defensive and administrative functions within their local territories. The physical remains, preserved as earthwork banks and ditches, represent evidence of settlement organisation and land management practices characteristic of Iron Age communities in southern Britain.
