Also known as: Devil's Humps, The Devil's Humps

The Devil's Humps are counted among the most impressive round barrows surviving on the South Downs [1]. The four barrows forming the Devil's Humps are all aligned and stand 3 to 4 metres high in spite of damage caused by early explorations [1]. No records survive from these early excavations, so the precise date for the construction of the barrows is unknown [1]. However, they are believed to date from the Late Neolithic or the Early Bronze Age [1].
