Bowl barrow 70m northeast of King Down Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset. The barrow survives as a roughly circular earthwork mound, characteristic of the bowl barrow type that was constructed across southern Britain during the Bronze Age. Such monuments served as repositories for cremated or inhumed burials, often containing grave goods that reflected the status of the deceased. The site's survival and formal archaeological recording testifies to the importance of Bronze Age burial practices in the landscape of Somerset and the broader tradition of monumental barrow construction that defines much of this period.
