Bowl barrow 300m west of Newlands Farm is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset. The barrow consists of a circular mound of earth and stone constructed over a burial deposit, typical of the bowl barrow form which was widely built across southern England during the third and second millennia before Christ. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and represents an important record of prehistoric mortuary practices and land use in the Somerset landscape. Such barrows frequently contained inhumation burials, sometimes accompanied by grave goods, and served as prominent territorial markers within the contemporary ceremonial and domestic landscape.
