Bowl barrow on St Catherine's Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located on St Catherine's Hill in Hampshire, situated approximately 680 metres north of the lighthouse. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of the bowl barrow form, which represents a common funerary practice during the Bronze Age period. Such barrows served as burial sites for individuals of presumed status within prehistoric communities, and their distribution across the Hampshire landscape reflects patterns of settlement and territorial organisation during this era. The barrow survives as an upstanding archaeological feature within the downland environment, contributing to the archaeological record of the region.
