Overview

History & significance

Bowl barrow 750m south-east of Windmill Hill is a Neolithic burial mound located near the Windmill Hill causewayed enclosure in Wiltshire. The barrow is situated in close proximity to one of Britain's most significant early Neolithic ritual and settlement complexes, which dates to around 3600 BCE. As a bowl barrow, it represents the characteristic mound form of Neolithic funerary monuments, constructed over one or more inhumations and typically featuring a simple circular earthwork. Its location within the intensive Neolithic landscape of the Windmill Hill complex indicates its role within a broader ceremonial and domestic settlement pattern of the early Neolithic period in the Wessex region.
