The Linear group of three bowl barrows immediately east of Kithurst Hill car park is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a dispersed cemetery of round barrows on Kithurst Hill in West Sussex. These three barrows represent a characteristic linear arrangement typical of Bronze Age burial practice, where multiple mounds were constructed in sequence across the landscape. The site is situated within a broader barrow cemetery that reflects the patterns of ritual burial and territorial organisation during the Bronze Age period. Such bowl barrow groupings across the Sussex Weald indicate sustained use of prominent hilltop locations for sepulchral purposes over extended periods during the second millennium before Christ.
