Remarks: A group of nine bowl barrows on Heyshott Down was listed in 1934.<br />
Barrow B was 38 paces in diameter and 7ft high, with a ditch {1}. In 1971 all except<br />
H were under rough pasture and only B showed any trace of ditches. Barrow B was<br />
27.5-29.0m in diameter, with a ditch 4m wide and up to 1m deep and had a large<br />
central excavation crater {2}. By 1975 the barrows had been cleared of scrub and<br />
were under rough pasture {3}. CD1754 forms part of a linear E-W cemetery of 10<br />
round barrows situated along a chalk ridge towards the north of the South Downs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> barrows all survive as earthworks and range in size from 11-34m in diameter and<br />
0.3-2.6m high. Seven barrows show evidence of hollows and disturbances. CD1754,<br />
a bowl barrow, is second from the west with a central mound 34m in diameter and<br />
2.6m high. <strong>The</strong> mound is surrounded by a quarry ditch which has become partially<br />
infilled over time but remains as an earthwork feature c.3m wide around the mound.<br />
<strong>The</strong> barrow was known locally as 'Heyshott Barrow' and has a central hollow in the<br />
mound which suggests that it was once partially excavated. Scheduling revised,<br />
