Bowl barrow 250m north-west of Fitzhall Lodge is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the Fitzhall Heath round barrow cemetery in Sussex. The monument is a bowl barrow, the most common form of round barrow, characterised by a simple mound of earth and chalk raised over a central grave or graves. It dates to the Bronze Age, a period during which such earthen monuments were routinely constructed across southern England as funerary monuments for individuals of status within local communities. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork on Fitzhall Heath and contributes to a wider landscape of prehistoric burial activity in the region.
