Steyning Round Hill is a Bronze Age or Iron Age earthwork monument located near Steyning in West Sussex. The site comprises a series of barrows and associated ditches that represent funerary and possibly ceremonial activity during prehistory. The earthworks, though partially degraded, remain visible as low mounds and linear features in the landscape, evidence of the settlement and burial practices of early communities in the South Downs region. The monument's exact dating and functional interpretation continue to reflect the broader patterns of prehistoric land use documented across Sussex, though local archaeological investigation has provided insights into the character and preservation of this Bronze Age or Iron Age complex.
