History & significance

Bowl barrow 500m south east of Greenland Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of a linear cemetery of round barrows situated west of the Lesser Cursus in Wiltshire. The barrow is of the bowl type, characteristic of Bronze Age burial practice in the region, and represents one element within a larger organised landscape of ritual and burial monuments. Its position within a linear arrangement of barrows reflects the structured funerary practices of Bronze Age communities, which frequently developed cemeteries along established territorial lines. The site contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary behaviour across the Chalk downlands of central Wiltshire.
