Three bowl barrows 750m south east of Westmeston Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the Western Brow round barrow cemetery in Sussex. The barrows are simple bowl-shaped earthworks typical of the Bronze Age burial tradition in southern England, created by heaping soil and chalk over cremated or inhumed remains. The cemetery of which they form part represents a significant concentration of ceremonial burial activity spanning the Early and Middle Bronze Age periods. This group of three monuments contributes to the archaeological importance of the Western Brow complex as evidence of sustained ritual and burial practices across the Downland landscape.
