Bowl barrow 500m east of The Long Man is a Bronze Age burial mound located on the South Downs near Wilmington in East Sussex. The barrow is a roughly circular earthwork of modest proportions, typical of the bowl barrow form which predominated during the Bronze Age in southern England. The monument remains substantially intact as an archaeological feature, preserving evidence of burial practices during the second millennium BCE. Its proximity to the nearby Neolithic flint mines and other Bronze Age monuments on the South Downs indicates the archaeological significance of the broader landscape in prehistoric times.
