Fore Hill round barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Sussex, England. The monument survives as an earthwork of circular form typical of round barrows constructed during the Bronze Age period. Round barrows such as this represent one of the most distinctive monument types of prehistoric Britain, serving as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and reflecting the burial practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities. The survival of Fore Hill as an upstanding earthwork makes it a valuable archaeological record of this significant period in Sussex's prehistoric past.
