Bowl barrow 500m south-east of Swell Wold Farm is a prehistoric burial monument located in Gloucestershire. The site is a bowl barrow, a common form of funerary monument dating to the Bronze Age, characterised by a simple earthen mound with a circular plan. Such monuments typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and represent significant ritual and social practices of their period. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates its archaeological importance as a record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs in the Cotswolds region.
