Bowl barrow 100m north west of Halsway Post is a Bronze Age burial monument situated in the Quantock Hills region of Somerset. The barrow takes the form of a low circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, the most common type of Bronze Age funerary monument in Britain, which were constructed as burial mounds during the second millennium BCE. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork feature within the landscape, preserving evidence of prehistoric funerary practice and settlement patterns in the Somerset uplands. Its designation within the National Heritage List for England recognises its importance as an archaeological site and its value in understanding Bronze Age burial customs and the use of the Quantock landscape during prehistory.
