Wolstonbury Hill Romano-British farmstead, field system and trackway is a scheduled ancient monument located in Sussex that represents settlement and agricultural activity during the Romano-British period. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a farmstead together with associated field boundaries and a trackway, demonstrating the organisation of rural land use in this period. The field system and trackwork are visible as linear features across the landscape, whilst the farmstead itself survives as ditched enclosures typical of Romano-British domestic settlement. The monument illustrates the continuity and development of agricultural practice in southern England during the Roman occupation and subsequent post-Roman transition.
