Remarks: A group of nine bowl barrows on Heyshott Down was listed in 1934.<br />

Barrow C was 12 paces in diameter and 1ft high, truncated {1}. In 1971 all except H<br />

were under rough pasture and only B showed any trace of ditches. Barrow C was<br />

11.5m in diameter and 0.6m in height, with a low, hummocky appearance {2}. By<br />

1975 the barrows had been cleared of scrub and were under rough pasture {3}.<br />

CD1755, a bowl barrow, is one of an E-W linear cemetery of 10 round barrows<br />

situated on a chalk ridge towards the north of the South Downs. <strong>The</strong> barrows all<br />

survive as earthworks varying in size from 11-34m in diameter and 0.3-2.6m high.<br />

Seven barrows show evidence of hollows and disturbances. 1507, the third barrow<br />

from west, is a much slighter earthwork than CD1754 to the west and has a central<br />

mound 11.5m in diameter and 0.5m high. Surrounding the mound is a quarry ditch<br />

which is no longer visible but survives as a buried feature c.3m wide. Scheduling<br />
