A cross dyke and bowl barrow on the northern spur of Beacon Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Hampshire. The site comprises a bowl barrow, a characteristic round burial mound of the Bronze Age period, associated with a cross dyke, a linear earthwork that likely served a defensive or territorial function. The monument's position on the elevated northern spur of Beacon Hill reflects the typical Bronze Age practice of placing burial mounds in prominent landscape locations. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial practices in the Hampshire landscape.
