Bowl barrow at Sutton Cheney is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Leicestershire. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common form of burial structure erected during the Bronze Age in Britain. Such monuments typically served as burial places for high-status individuals and were often constructed over cremated or inhumed remains, frequently accompanied by grave goods. The barrow at Sutton Cheney represents an important survival of this widespread funerary tradition and contributes to our understanding of Bronze Age settlement and burial practices in the East Midlands region.
