Winterbourne Stoke Down Bronze Age Enclosure and Bowl Barrow is a prehistoric burial monument located on Winterbourne Stoke Down in Wiltshire, situated approximately one hundred metres west of Longbarrow Cross Roads. The site comprises a bowl barrow of Bronze Age date associated with a contemporary enclosure, representing a form of burial practice characteristic of the early to middle Bronze Age period. The bowl barrow itself is a substantial earthwork mound, the most common barrow type of the Bronze Age, constructed to mark the burial or burials of individuals of status within the community. The enclosure surrounding or adjacent to the barrow suggests a degree of ritual significance and territorial demarcation, typical of Bronze Age funerary complexes in the Wiltshire chalk landscape.
