Overview

History & significance

Bowl barrow forming part of a linear round barrow cemetery on Rookery Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Sussex, England. The site comprises a grouping of round barrows arranged in linear formation, a common burial practice during the Bronze Age period when such cemeteries served as focal points for successive interments and ritual activity.

As part of this linear cemetery arrangement, the monument contributes to understanding Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Sussex landscape.
