Overview

History & significance

A bowl barrow located 180 metres north-west of Fitzhall Lodge is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the Fitzhall Heath round barrow cemetery in Sussex. The monument is situated adjacent to a Roman road that crosses Iping Common, a spatial relationship that reflects patterns of later Roman infrastructure development in relation to earlier prehistoric burial landscapes. The barrow itself exhibits the characteristic hemispherical mound form typical of Bronze Age funerary monuments, representing a significant element within what appears to have been an organised cemetery of similar date. The proximity of the Roman road suggests the survival of these Bronze Age features into the Romano-British period, when they remained visible and spatially significant features within the wider landscape.
