Bowl barrow 470m south east of Southfield Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset, England. The site comprises a characteristic bowl-shaped earthwork typical of burial mounds constructed during the Bronze Age, when such barrows served as communal or individual burial places for the dead. The monument's survival to the present day reflects the relative durability of this simple earthwork form, though like many barrows, it has experienced modification through agricultural use over subsequent centuries. Its designation as a scheduled ancient monument (list entry 1010263) recognises its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Somerset landscape.
