This bowl barrow is found immediately to the north side of the South Downs Way to the west of Cocking village, after a steep uphill walk of about 1 km. It is relatively small, being about 12 metres in diameter, and on the day I visited was barely recognisable as a barrow at all, being covered in nettles. There is a large round stone on the opposite side of the track which is a modern marker for the West Dean Estate, and certainly not ancient. The views down the slope to the north-east are excellent.
