Bowl barrow 240m east of The Penning is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire, England. The barrow takes the form of a simple hemispherical mound, characteristic of the bowl barrow type that was prevalent during the Bronze Age. Such monuments typically functioned as burial sites, often containing cremated or inhumed remains accompanied by grave goods that reflected the status of the deceased.
