Three bowl barrows 500m NNE of Fitzhall is a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery component forming part of the Fitzhall Heath barrow group in Sussex. The three barrows are characteristic examples of bowl barrows, the most common form of prehistoric burial mound, consisting of simple earthen domes raised over cremated or inhumed remains. Dating to the Bronze Age, likely the Early or Middle Bronze Age period, they represent the funerary practices and settlement patterns of prehistoric Sussex communities. The barrows contribute to the archaeological significance of Fitzhall Heath, which contains multiple burial mounds indicating sustained use of the landscape for ritual and funerary purposes across the Bronze Age.
