Browndown Ranges (North) is a prehistoric round barrow located on military training land near Gosport in Hampshire. The barrow represents Bronze Age burial practice, though precise dating and excavation records for this specific monument remain limited in the published scholarly record. The site has experienced significant alterations through its use as military training ground, notably the construction of First World War practice trenches and a Second World War Heavy Anti-Aircraft Battery which have substantially impacted the original barrow's form and survival. Despite these later military interventions, the monument retains archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric settlement and funerary practice in the Gosport area.
