Remarks: A group of nine bowl barrows on Heyshott Down was listed in 1934.
Barrow G was 12 paces in diameter and 3ft high, with a hollow centre. {1} In 1971 all
except H were under rough pasture and only B showed any trace of ditches. Barrow G
was 11.5m in diameter and 1m in height, with a small central excavation crater. {2}
By 1975 the barrows had been cleared of scrub and were under rough pasture. {3}
CD1759, a bowl barrow, is one of a linear E-W cemetery of 10 round barrows situated
along a ridge towards the N of the South Downs. The barrows all survive as
earthworks varying in size from 11-34m in diameter and 0.3-2.6m in height. Seven of
the barrows show evidence of hollows and disturbances. CD1759, the seventh barrow
from W, has a mound 11m in diameter and 1m high. The quarry ditch has become
infilled over time and is no longer visible at ground level but survives as a buried
feature c.3m wide. Between CD1759 and CD1760 to the E is a segment of cross dyke
(CD1764). Scheduling revised, Barrow 7. {4} [NGR in Scheduling document is
