A saucer barrow and a bowl barrow on Bow Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Sussex, England, situated approximately 270 metres south-east of the Tansley Stone. The two barrows represent distinct Bronze Age burial traditions, with the saucer barrow distinguished by its shallow, wide profile and the bowl barrow by its more pronounced dome-shaped mound. Both structures are characteristic of Early Bronze Age burial practices in southern England, reflecting the ritual and commemorative practices of communities during the second millennium BCE. The monument's survival and designation as a listed heritage asset testifies to its archaeological significance in understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary customs in the Sussex landscape.
