Hembury

A Neolithic causewayed camp in Devon, England, with radiocarbon dates showing occupation from 4200-3900 BC. It has given its name to the plain pottery (also called Windmill Hill pottery) of the earliest Neolithic in southern England, round-bottomed bowls frequently with lug handles. An Iron Age hillfort was later built and postholes of a circular Neolithic house have been found beneath the Iron Age gate. The Neolithic deposit included greenstone and flint axes and charred spelt wheat - by far the earliest occurrence of this type of wheat in Britain.

Neolithic causewayed camp and Iron Age hillfort in Devon, southwest England. The Neolithic site is particularly important because it has produced early radiocarbon dates of c3300-3000 bc (42003800 bc) associated with Early Neolithic pottery, greenstone and flint axes and a deposit of charred spelt wheat (by far the earliest occurrence of this type of wheat in Britain).
