Bowl barrow 100m east of Thorn Down is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the Seven Barrows cemetery near Nether Wallop in Hampshire. The barrow exhibits the characteristic hemispherical form typical of bowl barrows, a principal funerary monument type of the Early and Middle Bronze Age. As one of a notable group of at least seven barrows in close proximity, it represents evidence of sustained ritual activity and communal burial practice in this part of the Test Valley during the second millennium before Christ. The monument survives as an earthwork and contributes to the archaeological landscape of this designated barrow cemetery, which provides insight into prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary custom in southern Hampshire.
