Bowl barrow on Culver Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located on the Isle of Wight in Hampshire. The monument consists of a circular earthwork formed by a raised mound of earth and stone, typical of bowl barrows constructed during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200–700 BCE. Such barrows served as funerary monuments for elevated members of prehistoric communities and often contained cremated or inhumed remains, along with grave goods indicative of the deceased's status. The barrow's position on Culver Down places it within a landscape that saw substantial Bronze Age settlement and funerary activity on the Isle of Wight.
