The Devil's Jumps is a round barrow cemetery located in Sussex, England, comprising a group of Bronze Age burial mounds. The site consists of several earthwork mounds arranged across the landscape, typical of the ceremonial and funerary practices of Bronze Age communities in southern England, likely dating to the second millennium BCE. The barrows represent the burial customs of prehistoric peoples and their social organisation, with such cemetery groupings indicating repeated use of particular locations for interment across generations.
