| Abstract: |
Extensive excavations were undertaken at Belle Tout hill. Three earthwork enclosures, which at the time were all seriously affected by coastal erosion, had been recorded from the hill. The largest earthwork, which may have originally covered the entire headland, consisted of a simple, unrevetted bank which was viewed as an animal enclosure of possible late Iron Age or Roman date. Two smaller earthworks lay within the area enclosed by the large earthwork which were interpreted as being of Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age agricultural settlements. The excavations confirmed that the date of the two small earthworks was indeed correct but that the larger enclosure pre-dated the small enclosures with a Middle to Late Neolithic date being confirmed.
