Overview

History & significance

Bowl barrow on East Parley Common is a Bronze Age burial mound situated 610 metres south-west of Fir Grove Farm in Hampshire. The monument takes the form of a simple earthen dome or bowl-shaped mound characteristic of Bronze Age funerary practice in southern England, typically constructed as the visible marker of an inhumation or cremation deposit. Such barrows represent the dominant form of monumental burial in the Bronze Age, spanning broadly from around 2200 to 800 BC, and their distribution across Hampshire reflects the region's sustained occupation and ritual significance during this period. The barrow's survival on East Parley Common, as recorded in the National Heritage List for England, attests to its archaeological importance and its value as a record of Bronze Age mortuary customs and landscape use.
