Bowl barrow at Cross Ways, Thorney Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Hampshire. The barrow is a characteristic example of the simple hemispherical mound form that was widely constructed during the Bronze Age for the interment of cremated or inhumed burials, often accompanied by grave goods. The monument's survival to the present day, despite the considerable agricultural disturbance of the landscape in which it stands, demonstrates the durability of these earthwork constructions. Its positioning at Cross Ways reflects the typical siting of such barrows along ridgeways and prominent topographic features, which served both practical and symbolic functions in the Bronze Age landscape.
