Bowl barrow 850m south of Bristol Plain Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of a linear cemetery of round barrows in Somerset. The monument survives as a bowl-shaped earthwork characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice, when such barrows served as focal points for the deposition of cremated and inhumed remains. Its location within a linear arrangement of barrows indicates an organised, extended use of the landscape for ritual burial purposes over a sustained period during the Bronze Age. The barrow is listed as a scheduled monument under NHLE list entry 1008085, reflecting its archaeological significance as evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary practice in the Somerset landscape.
