Abstract:		 The construction of a water pipeline across part of Wiltshire and Somerset enabled the investigation of a transect through the causewayed enclosure at Whitesheet Hill, sectioning the enclosure ditch and revealing several internal features. Other sites on and around Whitesheet Hill were also investigated including a Beaker period pit, two cross-ridge earthworks and an enclosed settlement of the Middle Iron Age. The earlier Neolithic date of the enclosure ditch was confirmed and a number of internal features were recorded. These included solution and tree hollows but also probable contemporary archaeological features. The ceramic assemblage indicated that the causewayed enclosure at Whitesheet Hill had a greater affinity with areas to the south and west (Hembury) than to the north and east (Windmill Hill) and an important molluscan sequence was recovered from the ditch which provides some comparisons with similar sites on Hambledon Hill and Maiden Castle.
