Bowl barrow on Ivinghoe Hills is a prehistoric burial mound forming part of the Beacon Hill round barrow cemetery in Buckinghamshire. Located 240 metres south of Ivinghoe Beacon trig pillar, it represents a Bronze Age funerary monument, a period during which such bowl-shaped barrows were constructed across southern England as earthen mounds covering single or multiple burials. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork, retaining its characteristic hemispherical form, and contributes to one of the significant concentrations of round barrows in the region. As part of a cemetery complex rather than an isolated monument, it reflects the importance of the Ivinghoe landscape to Bronze Age communities and their ritual burial practices.
