Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound forming the north-westernmost monument within a linear cemetery of six bowl barrows on Rookery Hill in Sussex. The barrow is a simple earthwork consisting of a raised circular mound, characteristic of the bowl barrow type which dominated funerary practice in southern England during the third and early second millennia before Christ. As part of an organised linear arrangement of six burial mounds, the group demonstrates the deliberate spatial planning and sustained use of this hilltop location for mortuary commemoration across generations. The site is protected as a scheduled monument and registered on the National Heritage List for England.
