Bowl barrow and pillbox on Cherry Garden Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Kent, England. The barrow represents a characteristic funerary monument of the second millennium BC, constructed as a simple earthen mound to contain cremated or inhumed remains. The site has been significantly modified by the addition of a Second World War concrete pillbox, which was constructed during the period of intensive coastal defence preparations in 1940–1941. The dual designation of the monument reflects its palimpsestic character, with later military infrastructure overlaying an ancient ceremonial landscape.
