Bowl barrow 450m north of Cross Droves is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located in Berkshire, England. The monument consists of a simple earthen mound of circular plan, characteristic of bowl barrows constructed during the later prehistoric period as communal or individual burial places. Such barrows typically contained inhumations and occasionally cremations, serving as enduring markers of settlement territories and ancestral significance. The site's survival into the modern period, despite agricultural use of the surrounding landscape, demonstrates the prominence these monuments held within their original archaeological contexts.
