Bowl barrow at Kithurst Hill car park is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the round barrow cemetery dispersed across Kithurst Hill in West Sussex. The barrow is a simple bowl-shaped earthwork, characteristic of burial mounds constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as focal points for ritual and commemoration in the landscape. Its placement within a wider barrow cemetery indicates the sustained use of this elevated location as a burial ground across successive generations. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1016408 and contributes to our understanding of Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in the South Downs region.
