The Roman road across Iping Common and bowl barrow 180 metres north west of Fitzhall Lodge is a scheduled ancient monument comprising two distinct archaeological features within the Fitzhall Heath round barrow cemetery in Sussex. The barrow itself is a Bronze Age funerary monument, representing the burial practices of the second millennium BC. The Roman road that crosses the common demonstrates the later Roman period infrastructure that intersected with this prehistoric landscape, indicating the strategic importance of routes through the Weald. Together, these features illustrate the long chronological span of human activity and land use across this area of Sussex, with Bronze Age ceremonial burial practices preceding Roman military and commercial road networks by over a thousand years.
