Bowl barrow immediately south of the embankment of a disused railway, within Boscombe Down Airfield, 870m south east of The Pennings is a Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of a circular earthwork mound. The barrow represents a common form of burial practice during the Bronze Age period, when such mounds were constructed to mark the graves of individuals or communities. Located within the extensive barrow cemetery of the Boscombe Down area, the monument forms part of the significant archaeological landscape of the Wiltshire Downlands. The site's preservation within the airfield setting has aided its survival, though its earthwork form has been subject to the natural processes of erosion and settlement over more than three millennia.
