Fed up with Regency architecture? Come along and explore the first visible enclosing of a large communal space in our region.
Situated in a commanding position above East Brighton, close to the Race Course, lays one of Britain's earliest Stone Age monuments. The hill top here was chosen some 5,650 years ago as the site for a large ceremonial enclosure, an area for undertaking feasting, burials and communing.
Dating to c. 3,650 B.C. the monument represents one of the earliest ritual circles in the UK. A c. 60 minute guided tour of this unique part of Brighton & Hove's heritage will be given by Jon Sygrave from UCL's Institute of Archaeology. The tour will provide an introduction to the early British Neolithic in Sussex and the layout and significance of the Whitehawk enclosure.
