Oval barrow and adjacent bowl barrow, 220m west of Firle Beacon, is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument comprising two earthen mounds situated on the South Downs in Sussex. The oval barrow represents a distinctive burial form, whilst the adjacent bowl barrow displays the more common round mound morphology characteristic of Bronze Age mortuary practice. Together these monuments testify to sustained ritual activity and elite deposition in this high downland location during prehistory. The site's survival and scheduling reflect its importance as evidence of early funerary culture and settlement patterns in south-eastern England.
