Bowl barrow 750m south east of Westmeston Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the Western Brow round barrow cemetery near Ditchling in East Sussex. The monument is a simple bowl-shaped earthwork typical of burial practices during the Bronze Age, when such mounds were constructed as communal and individual graves across southern England.
