Court Hill is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located in Sussex, England. The monument consists of multiple concentric ditches interrupted by causeways, a characteristic form of enclosure dating to the early Neolithic period, approximately 4000–3500 BCE. Such enclosures are thought to have served multiple functions including gathering places, defensive structures, and ritual centres, though their precise purpose remains debated amongst archaeologists. The site contributes to understanding of early agricultural settlement patterns and communal activity in Neolithic southern England.
