Bowl barrow on Sutton Common, 200m south of The Bung, is a Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of a simple earthen mound characteristic of the barrow cemetery tradition in Sussex. The monument takes the form of a circular mound with a relatively low profile, typical of bowl barrows constructed during the second millennium BCE. Located within an area rich in prehistoric burial activity, the site contributes to understanding Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the South Downs region. The barrow remains a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of ritual behaviour and social organisation during the Bronze Age period.
