Oval barrow above Charleston Bottom 1080m south east of Chamber's Court is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Sussex, England. The barrow survives as an oval earthwork that represents a characteristic funerary monument type of the Bronze Age period. Such oval barrows are typically smaller and less prominent than round barrows found elsewhere in the county, though they served comparable ritual and commemorative functions for Bronze Age communities. The site's survival and formal designation indicate its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial practices in the South Downs landscape.
