History & significance

Bowl barrow 390m east of Eaglehead Copse is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a larger barrow cemetery in Hampshire. The barrow is situated within a landscape rich in Bronze Age burial activity, indicating the continued ceremonial importance of this location across the second millennium before the Common Era. As a bowl barrow, the monument would originally have comprised a circular earthen mound of relatively modest height, constructed to mark and contain the cremated or inhumed remains of the deceased, together with grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of its community. The barrow's survival as an earthwork and its designation within the National Heritage List for England recognises its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns in the Hampshire landscape.
