Bowl barrow 400m south west of Woolbury hillfort is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Stockbridge Down in Hampshire. The barrow is part of a dispersed group of similar monuments scattered across the Down, indicating intensive Bronze Age funerary and ceremonial use of the landscape. As a bowl barrow, it comprises a circular mound of earth and stone raised over a burial or burials, a form characteristic of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period. The monument's position within the wider barrow cemetery and its relationship to the Iron Age hillfort at Woolbury demonstrate the long chronological sequence of settlement and ritual activity in this part of Hampshire.
