Bowl barrow 150m north west of White Lion Pond, Beddingham Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on the South Downs in East Sussex. The barrow survives as a substantial earthwork mound of circular plan, characteristic of the bowl barrow class of prehistoric funerary monuments that were constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments served as communal or individual burial places and typically contained cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of prehistoric communities.
