Bowl barrow on Lavington Common is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located approximately 500 metres north-west of Westerland Lodge in Sussex, England. The monument survives as a roughly circular earthwork of modest height typical of bowl barrow construction, a simple mound form that characterises many prehistoric funerary monuments across southern England. Such barrows represent significant archaeological evidence for Early Bronze Age mortuary practices and land use patterns in the Wealden region. The site is protected as a scheduled monument and contributes to the broader landscape of prehistoric ritual and burial activity documented across the Sussex Weald.
