Excavations at the Neolithic enclosure on Bury Hill, Houghton, West Sussex, 1979, by Owen Bedwin and others, published December 1981 in The Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society (vol. 47, article, pp.69-86)   View Online

Summary. Excavations at Bury Hill dated a small, continuously-ditched enclosure to the early Neolithic. The interior of the enclosure, c. 1 ha in extent, was sampled by two trial cuttings, 9 m wide, running across the enclosure at right angles to one another. No Neolithic features were found. Sampling the ditch produced early Neolithic pottery, flintwork and animal bone. Though continuous, the ditch had a 'beaded' appearance, with a single entrance. No corresponding bank survived, though aerial photographs indicated its existence on the inside of the ditch.
