Denture Bowl Barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Sussex, England. The barrow survives as an earthwork monument, representing the funerary practices of the Bronze Age period when such mounds were constructed to mark the graves of the dead and serve as enduring landscape features. Like other barrows of its type in Sussex, it would have contained an inhumed or cremated burial, possibly accompanied by grave goods. The monument's preservation as an archaeological site provides evidence for understanding Bronze Age burial customs and the use of the landscape during the second millennium BC.
