Bowl barrow 450m north of Cross Droves is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Berkshire. The site represents a form of burial mound construction typical of the second millennium before the common era, when such earthwork barrows served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and functioned as prominent landscape markers within contemporary burial practices. The monument survives as a rounded earthwork characteristic of the bowl barrow type, which is distinguished by its simple, dome-shaped profile without the ditches and banks that define more elaborate barrow forms. Its designation as a protected monument reflects its importance to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the region.
