Three bowl barrows 770m south east of Westmeston Farm is a Bronze Age burial monument forming part of the Western Brow round barrow cemetery on the South Downs in Sussex. The three barrows are typical examples of bowl-shaped burial mounds characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in southern England, likely dating to the second millennium BC. These monuments represent evidence of prehistoric settlement and burial practices on the chalk downland, and their survival as part of a larger barrow cemetery demonstrates the sustained use of this location as a burial ground across successive periods. The site is designated as a scheduled ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological significance and contribution to understanding Bronze Age communities in the wider Sussex landscape.
