East Hendred Down bowl barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in the parish of East Hendred in Berkshire. The monument is a bowl barrow, a characteristic form of funerary monument typical of the Bronze Age period, consisting of an earthen mound raised over one or more burials. The barrow sits upon the chalk downs of the Berkshire landscape, a location favoured for such monuments during the Bronze Age when numerous examples were constructed across the chalk uplands of southern England. As with many barrows of this type, it represents evidence of burial practices and social organisation during the Bronze Age period.
