Four bowl barrows on Lavington Common, north of Lower Barn is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in West Sussex. The site comprises four round barrows of bowl type, a characteristic form of burial mound constructed during the prehistoric period to cover cremated or inhumed remains. The barrows are situated on Lavington Common, an area of downland that preserves evidence of prehistoric activity and settlement patterns across the South Downs. These monuments represent important archaeological evidence of mortuary practices and territorial organisation among prehistoric communities in Sussex, though their precise dating and original dimensions require archaeological investigation to establish definitively.
