Bowl barrow 225m north west of Halsway Post is a Bronze Age burial mound located on the Quantock Hills in Somerset, England. The barrow survives as a rounded earthwork characteristic of bowl barrow monuments, which represent a common form of funerary architecture from the Bronze Age period. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials and often served as territorial or familial markers within the prehistoric landscape.
