At the top of the hill is Whitehawk Camp, a Neolithic causewayed enclosure which is a Scheduled Monument.[3]
This is species-rich chalk grassland which has views over Brighton and the sea, together with the Isle of Wight on clear days. There are colonies of chalkhill blue butterflies.[1] The 45 metre high Whitehawk Hill transmitting station is at the summit.[4]
