Tumulus, recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 469931, which tells us this bowl barrow is "on the scrub-covered crest of Beachy Brow. It measures c12.0m in diameter by 1.0m high, with a large hollow in the centre".
The barrow is also scheduled as Historic England List ID 1019247, which adds: "The mound is surrounded by a ditch from which material used to construct the barrow was excavated. This has become infilled over the years, but will survive as a buried feature around 2m wide. The South Downs Way, a long distance track, has been constructed across the western part of the ditch, causing some disturbance to the monument".
