Bowl barrow on Box Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located approximately 250 metres north-west of Boxhurst in Surrey. The barrow takes the form of a simple earthen mound characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of individuals of status within their communities. Its presence on Box Hill reflects the archaeological significance of the Surrey chalk downlands, which contain numerous barrows and other prehistoric monuments dating from the second millennium before Christ. The monument remains an important record of Bronze Age funerary practice and settlement patterns in south-eastern England.
