Bowl Barrow on Peacehaven Heights is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Sussex, England, situated approximately 242 metres south-west of Warren Court. The barrow is a characteristic example of the bowl barrow type, a common form of funerary monument constructed during the Bronze Age in southern Britain. Its rounded, dome-like mound structure would originally have covered a central burial deposit, though like many barrows of this period and region, it has been subject to considerable erosion and modification over the millennia. The monument forms part of the broader landscape of prehistoric burial sites that characterise the South Downs and surrounding areas, serving as material evidence of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practices in the region.
