A saucer barrow and three bowl barrows on Tegdown Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located in Sussex, England. The site comprises four distinct burial mounds of differing morphological types, with the saucer barrow characterised by its shallow, broad form and the three bowl barrows displaying the more pronounced domed profiles typical of Bronze Age burial practice. These monuments represent the funerary practices of early Bronze Age communities in southern England, typically dating to the second millennium BCE. The survival of multiple barrows in close association on Tegdown Hill provides archaeological evidence of sustained burial activity across the Bronze Age period.
