Group of four bowl barrows at the Chantry Post is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Sussex, England. The site comprises four bowl barrows, the most common form of burial mound in prehistoric Britain, which typically date from the Early to Middle Bronze Age. These earthworks represent evidence of ritual burial practices and settlement patterns during the Bronze Age period, when such barrow cemeteries served as focal points in the landscape for communities engaged in pastoral and agricultural subsistence. The survival of four barrows in close association at this location provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding Bronze Age mortuary behaviour and land use in southern England.
