Group of six bowl barrows 790m south west of Grey Friars Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising six burial mounds situated on Kithurst Hill in Sussex. The barrows form part of a dispersed cemetery of round barrows that occupy this elevated landscape, reflecting patterns of Bronze Age burial practice in the South Downs region. Bowl barrows, characterised by their simple earthen mounds without ditches or additional earthwork features, represent one of the most common forms of Bronze Age funerary monument in southern England. The site is scheduled as an ancient monument and demonstrates the continued use of this area for ceremonial burial purposes during the Bronze Age period.
