Bowl barrow on Bow Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Sussex, England. The barrow survives as a distinctive rounded mound, characteristic of the bowl barrow type, which represents one of the most common forms of burial cairn constructed during prehistory in southern Britain. Its proximity to the Tansley Stone, a nearby landscape feature, suggests it formed part of a wider ceremonial or ritual landscape. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1008377, reflecting its importance as an archaeological site.
