Stock enclosure at Bible Bottom is a prehistoric or Romano-British defensive or stock-management earthwork located in East Sussex near Lewes. The monument comprises a roughly rectangular enclosure defined by a ditch and bank system, characteristic of Iron Age or Romano-British pastoral land management practices in the Weald. The site's name preserves the historical function of animal containment, reflecting its use as a livestock pen or similar agricultural facility during the pre-Roman or Roman period. Though largely agricultural in character, the earthwork demonstrates the sustained organisation of land use across the Bronze Age through Romano-British periods in this part of Sussex.
