Abstract:		 This paper presents an overview of 25 enclosures in Sussex conventionally described as 'hill forts'. Analysis of pottery assemblages and radiocarbon dates allows a three-phase chronological division of the enclosures, with the majority belonging to the earliest phase. Assessment of topographic positions and excavation evidence indicates that the enclosures may have functioned in distinct ways in each of the three phases. In the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age the enclosures may have been situated in peripheral locations on the Downs, from which landscapes and people were observed. In the Middle Iron Age more central downland positions were adopted and the sites may have acted as landmark monuments which were viewed from without. In the Late Iron Age enclosure activity concentrates in the Weald and suggests an involvement with ironworking. Evidence from the entrance orientations of the enclosures suggests that, despite these variations, there was an underlying symbolic ordering dictating the layout of some physical attributes of these sites.
