A saucer barrow and a bowl barrow 600 metres north west of Lewes Prison is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument comprising two distinct round barrow forms, representing the southerly pair within a group of three barrows. The saucer barrow exhibits the characteristic shallow, platform-like mound typical of its type, whilst the bowl barrow displays the more pronounced domed form associated with Bronze Age funerary practice. These monuments reflect the ritual practices and social structures of prehistoric Sussex communities, with their survival as earthworks providing evidence of continuity in burial customs across the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. The site's location within a barrow group indicates a significant focus of ceremonial and commemorative activity during prehistory.
