Ashey Down Sea Mark is a Bronze Age barrow located on the Isle of Wight in Hampshire. The monument consists of a burial mound of characteristic Bronze Age construction, forming part of the wider distribution of such funerary monuments across the island. As a sea mark, the barrow would have served a dual purpose, functioning both as a burial monument and as a navigation aid for maritime traffic, a role that extended its utility well beyond its original funerary function. The site remains an important archaeological witness to Bronze Age settlement and burial practices in the region.
