History & significance

Bowl barrow in Mallard Wood is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Hampshire. The barrow takes the form of a simple earthen mound, characteristic of the bowl barrow type, which consists of a circular raised burial structure surrounded by a ditch. Dating to the Bronze Age period, the monument represents one of the funerary practices common to prehistoric communities in southern England, when such mounds were constructed to mark and contain burials, often accompanied by grave goods. The site's survival in a wooded location has helped preserve this example of early second-millennium funerary architecture.
