Overview

History & significance

Bowl barrow west of Cockcrow Hill is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Surrey. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound typical of the bowl barrow type, constructed during the Bronze Age period as a burial structure for a high-status individual or small community group. Such monuments are characteristic of the Wessex cultural sphere and represent an important class of archaeological evidence for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and social organisation in southern England. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric Surrey and provides material evidence of the region's settlement and ritual landscape during the second millennium before the Common Era.
