Whitehawk Hill contains the earliest recorded inhabited site in Brighton being the location of a form Neolithic camp that has been dated back to 2700BC, older than Stonehenge. Some of ditches which form concentric circles that cross both Manor Hill and the racecourse can still be seen. In this view they are located by the uneven ground to the left.
