Bowl barrow in King's Wood, Wye is a Bronze Age burial mound situated in the Wye area of Kent. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork typical of bowl barrows, a common funerary form of the Bronze Age period. As a scheduled ancient monument, it represents an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the Weald region of south-eastern England.
