Overview

History & significance

Bowl barrow 400m north-east of the sewage works is a prehistoric burial mound located on Witley Common in Surrey, England. It forms part of a group of four bowl barrows on the common, which represent Bronze Age funerary monuments dating to the second millennium BC. Bowl barrows of this type are characterized by their simple hemispherical or bowl-shaped earthen mounds constructed over cremation or inhumation burials, and they constitute one of the most common forms of Bronze Age funerary architecture in southern England. The barrow group on Witley Common is notable as evidence of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the Surrey Weald, and these monuments remain substantially preserved within the landscape despite their considerable age.
