Overview

History & significance

The Pair of bowl barrows on Baily's Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Sussex. These two barrows represent the characteristic burial practice of the Early to Middle Bronze Age, when such earthen mounds were constructed to cover cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of note within their communities. The barrows, which survive as visible earthworks on the landscape, are substantial enough to have been recognised and recorded as heritage assets worthy of statutory protection. The site reflects the burial customs and ritual landscape of prehistoric Sussex during the second millennium before the Common Era.
