Bowl barrow 300m north of A344, south west of the Lesser Cursus is a Bronze Age burial mound located within the Stonehenge World Heritage Site landscape near Wiltshire. The monument is a typical example of the bowl barrow form, a simple circular earthwork consisting of a raised mound constructed over a central burial deposit, characteristic of funerary practice during the Bronze Age period. Its location within this archaeologically significant zone, in proximity to the Lesser Cursus and other prehistoric monuments, reflects the continued use of the Stonehenge environs as a burial ground in the millennia following the monument's construction. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains an important element of the extensive Bronze Age burial landscape that defines this part of Salisbury Plain.
