The Trundle is a Neolithic causewayed enclosure located on St Roche's Hill near Goodwood in West Sussex, England. The site comprises concentric ditches interrupted by causeways, characteristic of enclosures constructed during the early Neolithic period, approximately 3500 to 3000 BCE. Subsequent Iron Age occupation saw the construction of a hillfort with multiple ramparts utilising the elevated topography, demonstrating the monument's significance across multiple periods of prehistory. The combined sequence of Neolithic and Iron Age features makes The Trundle an important archaeological site for understanding settlement patterns and defensive strategies across more than two millennia of prehistoric Sussex.
