Bowl barrow on Beachy Brow is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the South Downs near Eastbourne in East Sussex. The barrow survives as a low earthwork mound, characteristic of bowl barrow form, which represents one of the most common type of burial monument constructed during the Bronze Age in southern England. Such monuments typically contained inhumed or cremated remains and were often the focal point of ceremonial activity across successive generations. The site's location on elevated downland reflects the preference of Bronze Age communities for positioning burial monuments in prominent landscape positions, and its survival as a scheduled monument reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric funerary practice and social organisation in the region.
