Bowl barrow re-used as a moot 205m SSE of Chelwood is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument in Gloucestershire that was subsequently adapted for administrative purposes in the medieval period. The site comprises a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrow construction, with a central mound surrounded by a ditch. Its later re-use as a moot or meeting place reflects the practice of repurposing prehistoric burial monuments as focal points for local governance and communal assembly during the medieval period. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains an important testimony to both prehistoric burial practices and medieval administration in the region.
