Bowl barrow south of The Beeches is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the Plumpton Plain round barrow cemetery in Sussex, England. The monument takes the form of a simple bowl-shaped earthwork typical of early Bronze Age funerary practice, when such barrows served as prominent markers for elite or community burials. Located within a substantial concentration of round barrows on Plumpton Plain, it contributes to evidence of sustained ritual and mortuary activity in the South Downs during the second millennium BCE.
