Bowl barrow 270m SSW of Woolbury hillfort is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Stockbridge Down in Hampshire. It forms part of a dispersed barrow cemetery that characterises this downland landscape, reflecting patterns of prehistoric settlement and mortuary practice across the chalk uplands of the Test Valley. The barrow survives as a roughly circular earthwork typical of bowl barrow form, one of the principal Bronze Age funerary monuments of southern England. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to the archaeological record of the Stockbridge Down complex, which includes the Iron Age hillfort at Woolbury and demonstrates the palimpsest of human activity across this landscape from the Bronze Age onwards.
