Bowl barrow in Stephen's Firs is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Hampshire, England, situated as an outlier to the larger barrow cemetery at Holden's Firs. The monument consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrow typology, constructed during the Bronze Age period when such round barrows served as communal or individual burial monuments. Its position away from the main cemetery group suggests either temporal variation in the use of the landscape or a distinct burial practice within the regional barrow tradition. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1012304 and represents an important element of the Bronze Age funerary archaeology of Hampshire.
