Bowl barrow 650m north east of Upper Swell is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Gloucestershire. The site consists of a earthen mound characteristic of bowl barrow construction, a funerary form widespread across southern Britain during the Bronze Age period, roughly from 2200 to 700 BC. Bowl barrows of this type typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and ritual practices of their time. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains a significant archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the Cotswolds region.
