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

Barrow D was 10 paces in diameter and 1ft high {1}. In 1971 all except H were<br />

under rough pasture and only B showed any trace of ditches. Barrow D was 8.5-6.5m<br />

in diameter and 0.5m in height, with a low, hummocky appearance {2}. By 1975 the<br />

barrows had been cleared of scrub and were under rough pasture {3}. CD1756, a<br />

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

chalk ridge towards the N of the South Downs. <strong>The</strong> barrows all survive as earthworks<br />

varying in size from 11-34m in diameter and 0.3-2.6m in height. Seven barrows show<br />

evidence of hollows and disturbances. CD1756 is the fourth barrow from the west<br />

and has a mound 12m in diameter and 0.3m high, with a surrounding quarry ditch<br />

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