Bowl barrow 650m north east of Upper Swell is a Bronze Age burial monument situated in Gloucestershire. The barrow takes the form of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age across Britain. Such monuments typically contained cremated or inhumed burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and frequently served as focal points for ritual activity and ancestral commemoration within prehistoric communities. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and burial practice in the Cotswolds region.
