Bowl barrow on Charlton Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the chalk uplands near Goodwood in West Sussex. The barrow survives as a prominent earthwork with a circular mound form characteristic of bowl barrows, the most common type of Bronze Age burial monument in southern England. Dating to the second millennium BC, it represents evidence of ritual and burial practices during the Bronze Age period, when such monuments were erected across the chalk downland landscape of Sussex. The site's location on elevated terrain reflects the preference of Bronze Age communities for interring their dead on prominent positions within the visible landscape.
