Bowl barrow on Shere Heath is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located in Surrey. The monument consists of a circular earthwork with a distinctive bowl-shaped profile, characteristic of barrow types constructed during the prehistoric period for the interment of the deceased and associated grave goods. Such barrows served as focal points within the landscape and often remained significant ritual sites throughout subsequent periods of prehistory. The site's survival to the present day, despite the pressures of later land use and development in the Surrey countryside, represents an important record of early funerary practice in southern England.
