The pair of bowl barrows on Windover Hill, located 170 metres south of The Long Man in East Sussex, are Bronze Age funerary monuments dating to the second millennium before the present era. These earthworks consist of two circular mounded structures typical of bowl barrow construction, representing a common form of burial monument distributed across the chalk downlands of southern England during the Bronze Age. The barrows occupy a prominent position on the Sussex Downs, within a landscape rich in prehistoric archaeology that includes the famous geoglyph of The Long Man of Wilmington nearby. Their survival as upstanding earthworks contributes to the archaeological record of ritual and mortuary practice in Bronze Age Sussex.
