Bowl barrow on Ivinghoe Hills is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the Beacon Hill round barrow cemetery in Buckinghamshire. Located approximately 460 metres south of Ivinghoe Beacon trig pillar, this monument exemplifies the simple hemispherical earthwork design characteristic of bowl barrows, the most common form of round barrow in southern England.
