Duncton Common round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial ground located in West Sussex, England. The site comprises multiple round barrows distributed across the common, representing typical funerary monuments of the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BC. These earthen mounds would have served as burial places for individuals of social status within prehistoric communities, and their presence on the common indicates the area's significance as a burial landscape during antiquity. The barrow cemetery survives as an important archaeological monument testifying to Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practices in the Weald region.
