Bowl barrow 800m south of Hemp Knoll is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire. The barrow takes the form of a simple circular mound with a surrounding ditch, characteristic of bowl barrows constructed during the Early Bronze Age, roughly 2200 to 1500 BCE. Such monuments typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods including pottery and metalwork. This example survives as an upstanding earthwork and contributes to the dense concentration of prehistoric barrow cemeteries found across the Wiltshire chalk downlands, an area of national archaeological significance for Bronze Age burial practices.
