Linear group of three bowl barrows immediately east of Kithurst Hill car park is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated within a dispersed barrow cemetery on Kithurst Hill in Sussex. The three barrows are aligned linearly and represent characteristic examples of bowl barrow construction, the predominant burial form of the Bronze Age in southern England. The site forms part of a larger necropolis on Kithurst Hill, demonstrating the sustained use of the location as a burial ground across the Bronze Age period. Such linear groupings of barrows are typical of Bronze Age mortuary practice and indicate repeated use of favoured burial locations by successive generations.
