Bowl barrow on Barrow Hill, Hungerford Newtown is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located in Berkshire. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork of typical bowl barrow form, representing a widespread funerary practice across southern England during the prehistoric period. Such barrows served as communal or individual burial sites and often contained inhumations accompanied by grave goods, though the specific contents of this example are not documented in the readily available record.
