Bowl barrow on Linch Down is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Sussex, England. The barrow takes the form of a simple earthen mound, characteristic of the bowl barrow type that was widely constructed during the Bronze Age across southern Britain. Such monuments typically contained inhumation or cremation burials and served as focal points for funerary ritual within their local landscape. The site's survival into the modern period, despite agricultural activity across the surrounding downland, demonstrates the persistence of these Bronze Age monuments as features of the English countryside.
