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

Barrow H was 17 paces in diameter and 1.5ft high. {1} In 1971 all except H were<br />

under rough pasture and only B showed any trace of ditches. Barrow H was 16m in<br />

diameter and 0.5m in height, with a large central excavation crater and badly<br />

mutilated, with a hummocky appearance and overgrown with scrub. {2} By 1975 the<br />

barrows had been cleared of scrub and were under rough pasture. Barrow H is<br />

possibly a bank barrow comprising a circular bank. {3} CD1760, a disc barrow, is<br />

one of a linear E-W cemetery of 10 round barrows situated along a chalk ridge<br />

towards the N of the South Downs. <strong>The</strong> barrows all survive as earthworks and vary in<br />

size from 11-34m in diameter and 0.3-2.6m high. Of the barrows seven show<br />

evidence of hollows and disturbances. CD1760, the eighth barrow from W, comprises<br />

a circular bank 15m in diameter and 2m wide which stands 0. 4m high, defining a flat<br />

central area, or platform, without a central mound. Scheduling revised, Barrow 8. {4}<br />
