Bowl barrow in Aldbury Nowers wood is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated approximately 280 metres south-east of Northfield Grange in Hertfordshire. The barrow takes the form of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of Bronze Age burial practices in southern England, dating to the second millennium before Christ. Such monuments typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the deceased. The survival of the barrow within woodland has helped preserve its archaeological integrity, making it a significant example of Bronze Age mortuary practice in the Chiltern region.
