Bowl barrow on Swinyard's Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Kent. The barrow takes the form of a simple mound of earth and stone, characteristic of the bowl barrow type that was commonly constructed during the Bronze Age for the interment of high-status individuals. Its survival to the present day, despite the intensive agricultural use of the Kentish landscape, makes it a significant example of Neolithic or Bronze Age burial practice in south-east England. The site is protected as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its archaeological importance as evidence of early ritual and mortuary behaviour in the region.
