Barrows in Bath Hole and Bury Hill Plantations is a group of Bronze Age burial mounds located in Wiltshire. The site comprises several barrows, or burial structures, characteristic of the period between approximately 2200 and 700 BC, when such earthworks served as monuments for the interment of the deceased and were often used over extended periods for successive burials. The barrows' survival within the plantations has preserved them as significant archaeological evidence of prehistoric funerary practice and settlement patterns in the region. Their presence contributes to the understanding of Bronze Age communities and their relationship with the landscape of Wiltshire.
