Bowl barrow 840m west of Cherhill Monument, Cherhill Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located on Cherhill Down in Wiltshire. The monument is of the common bowl barrow type, characterised by a rounded earthen mound raised over a central burial or burials, which represents a widespread funerary tradition across southern England during the Bronze Age. The barrow forms part of a wider landscape of prehistoric monuments in the Cherhill Down area, which includes the nearby Neolithic chalk monument known as Cherhill Monument. Such bowl barrows typically contained cremated or inhumed remains, sometimes accompanied by grave goods, and their distribution across the Wiltshire chalk downs reflects the importance of this region during the Bronze Age period.
