A saucer barrow and a bowl barrow on Bow Hill, 270m south east of the Tansley Stone, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Sussex, England. The two barrows represent distinct typological forms characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices, with the saucer barrow displaying the shallow, wide-brimmed profile typical of its type, whilst the bowl barrow exhibits the more pronounced mounded form associated with Bronze Age elite interment. These monuments survive as earthwork features within the broader landscape of Bronze Age barrow construction in the South Downs region. The site is designated as a heritage monument of national importance, reflecting the archaeological significance of Bronze Age funerary architecture in understanding prehistoric settlement and social organisation.
