The Pair of bowl barrows on Amberley Mount, located 760 metres north east of Downs Farm in Sussex, is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument comprising two earthen mounds. Bowl barrows of this type represent one of the commonest forms of prehistoric funerary architecture across southern England, typically consisting of a circular mound raised over a central burial or cremation deposit. The monument's position on elevated ground reflects the typical siting preferences of Neolithic and Bronze Age communities, which frequently selected prominent landscape locations for their sepulchral monuments. The barrows survive as archaeological features of importance for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the South Downs region.
