A bowl barrow on Whiteleaf Hill, 90m north of Whiteleaf Cross is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Buckinghamshire. The barrow comprises a circular earthen mound, typical of bowl barrow form, which would have originally contained inhumation or cremation deposits within a central burial chamber or grave. Such monuments are characteristic of the period spanning roughly 3500 to 1500 BCE and represent significant investment in ancestor commemoration and territorial markers within prehistoric communities. The barrow's proximity to the chalk-cut Whiteleaf Cross, a later addition to the landscape, places this ancient burial site within a layered archaeological context spanning multiple periods of human activity on the hill.
