Round barrow 600 metres south-east of Sudmoor Cottage is a scheduled monument in Hampshire, England. The barrow sits on bedrock of the Wealden Group, a formation of mudstone, siltstone and sandstone laid down during the Barremian period. This geological foundation has shaped the character of the surrounding landscape and would have influenced how the monument's builders prepared the ground for construction.
As a round barrow, the monument belongs to a burial tradition that flourished across Britain during the Bronze Age, typically comprising an earthen mound raised over one or more cremated or inhumed remains. The example at this location, occupying a scheduled area of 0.03 hectares, represents an important record of prehistoric mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the Hampshire region.
The monument is protected by Historic England under reference 1020136 and is scheduled in recognition of its archaeological significance. This designation safeguards the site and its archaeological resource, allowing future study and preventing damage that might compromise the evidence it contains regarding Bronze Age communities and their landscape use in this part of the Weald.
