East Ilsley Down round barrows is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Berkshire, England. The site comprises a group of round barrows situated on the chalk downland, characteristic of the burial practices of the Bronze Age period, roughly dating to between 2200 and 700 BCE. These earthwork mounds represent the remains of ritual monuments constructed to contain burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and collectively form an important archaeological record of prehistoric settlement and social organisation in the Berkshire Downs. The barrows contribute to the understanding of Bronze Age funerary traditions and the use of the downland landscape during this period.
