Bowl barrow 50m south-east of the `Sanctuary' forming part of the Overton Hill round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial mound located on the chalk downland of the Marlborough Downs in Wiltshire. The barrow is part of a substantial cemetery of round barrows concentrated around Overton Hill, an area of significant ritual and funerary importance during the Bronze Age. Its simple bowl form, characteristic of Bronze Age barrow construction, would originally have covered one or more inhumation or cremation burials within its earthen mound. The Overton Hill barrow cemetery represents a concentrated focus of burial activity spanning the Early and Middle Bronze Age, reflecting the sustained importance of this landscape for ritual practices in prehistoric Wiltshire.
