Bowl barrow 280m WNW of Wilverley Post is a Bronze Age burial monument located in the New Forest area of Hampshire. The barrow survives as a distinctive rounded earthwork of modest proportions, characteristic of the bowl barrow type commonly found across southern England and dating to the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically functioned as burial mounds for individuals of social status within their communities, and their distribution across the New Forest landscape reflects the intensive settlement and land use of Bronze Age populations in this region. The barrow forms part of the significant archaeological heritage of the New Forest, contributing to the understanding of prehistoric funerary practices and social organisation in the Hampshire landscape.
