Bowl barrow forming part of a linear round barrow group on Bostal Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Sussex, England. The barrow is part of a linear arrangement of round barrows, a characteristic burial practice of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to cover individual or collective inhumations. The monument survives as an earthwork of bowl form, a common morphological type among Bronze Age barrows in southern England. As a component of a barrow cemetery, this site contributes to understanding Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Weald and surrounding regions of Sussex.
