Bowl barrow on Cocking Down is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument situated on the South Downs in West Sussex. The barrow takes the form of a simple, rounded earthen mound characteristic of the Bronze Age funerary tradition, though similar monuments were constructed across a lengthy period of prehistoric use. Such burial mounds are important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns, burial practice, and social organisation during the Bronze Age in southern England. The monument survives as an earthwork on the downland landscape and forms part of the dispersed cemetery sites that mark this area of the South Downs as a significant prehistoric ritual and burial landscape.
