Part of Western Brow round barrow cemetery and an Anglo-Saxon barrow field 690m south of Westmeston Farm is a Prehistoric and Anglo-Saxon burial site located in Sussex, England. The monument comprises a round barrow cemetery of Bronze Age date together with an adjacent Anglo-Saxon barrow field, representing two distinct phases of funerary use at the same location separated by over a thousand years. The survival of both prehistoric and early medieval burial grounds at this site provides evidence of sustained ritual and ceremonial activity across the longue durée of English prehistory and the early medieval period. The barrow field demonstrates the continuing importance of elevated landscape positions for burial practices during the Anglo-Saxon period, when communities maintained or renewed associations with earlier monumental landscapes.
