Abstract:

Excavations in advance of a housing development on land adjacent to Ti/gate Close, Brighton, at the south-western margins of Whitehawk Neolithic enclosure, revealed a 90 m strip of prehistoric tangential ditch, the presence of which had first been detected by Dr Cecil Curwen in 1928. Investigation of this feature has led to the reassessment of the constructional sequence of the Neolithic monument. Further rescue investigation to the north and north-east of the housing development has helped better define the extent of surviving prehistoric remains at the site.
