Lord's Burghs bowl barrows viewed from the track between the South Downs Way and Blackcap Farm
This pair of substantial bowl barrows are adjacent to Blackcap Farm just South of the SDW at Firle Beacon. Strictly speaking they’re on private farmland, but if you’re careful and cunning you can get to them without upsetting anyone. They’re slightly unusual in that they’re tucked away from more clustered barrow groups back up on the escarpment which has done them a huge favour by having less visitors trampling all over them. They’re also currently covered by wire fencing presumably to stop rabbits burrowing into them, although this has come away in places making them appear a little untidy. Like all the local barrows they’ve been dug into at some time and probably pillaged, but there’s very little information to be found about them.
Positioned roughly North to South and both about 2m high
