A group of three saucer barrows and a pair of hlaews south east of Chanctonbury Ring hillfort is a Bronze Age burial monument complex located in Sussex, England. Saucer barrows are shallow circular earthworks with minimal height, characteristic of later Bronze Age funerary practice, whilst hlaews represent a distinct burial monument type of the same period. The barrows and hlaews occupy a position in the landscape southeast of Chanctonbury Ring, an Iron Age hillfort, indicating sustained ritual and burial activity in this area across successive prehistoric periods. This monument group contributes to understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the South Downs region.
