 At the top of West Hill in High Salvington are remains of Neolithic huts, possibly used by Neolithic flint miners.High Salvington may have one of only a few flint mines in Britain, however since the fields containing the possible mines were disturbed by plough use this cannot be made definite.At High Salvington after 1923, despite the protests of preservationists, many large detached houses of various styles spread almost to the top of Salvington Hill.
