Waltham Down barrow cemetery sits on the edge of the South Downs near East Dean, consisting of four reasonably large barrows and one particularly large mound. They're quite well hidden in the deciduous forest there, but the trees were only planted just after World War Two, so it may have been quite open originally and easily seen, not too dissimilar to the relatively close 'Devil's Jumps' site further West just off the South Downs Way. The largest barrow in the group is slightly isolated from the other four and has been dug into at some time and almost hollowed out. Still standing over two metres in height it appears to be unusually constructed of flint nodules, more like a cairn than a barrow, as most barrows in this area are chalk rubble and earth constructions.
