Bowl barrow 800m south-west of Bignor Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound situated in West Sussex, England. The monument takes the form of a simple hemispherical earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age period. Such barrows served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and often formed part of wider barrow cemeteries across the South Downs. The barrow's survival and official designation as a scheduled monument reflects its archaeological value as evidence of Bronze Age burial practice and settlement patterns in the Weald and South Downs region.
