Court Hill is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located in Sussex, England. The site dates to the early Neolithic period and represents one of the characteristic monumental forms of this era in southern Britain, characterised by interrupted ditch systems rather than continuous fortifications. The enclosure comprises multiple concentric or segmented ditches separated by causeways, a design thought to have served communal and ceremonial functions rather than primarily defensive purposes. The monument and its associated remains constitute an important archaeological record of early farming settlement and ritual practice in Neolithic Sussex.
