Eastcombe bowl barrows is a scheduled monument comprising two Bronze Age burial mounds located near Nash End Farm in Gloucestershire. The barrows, positioned approximately 230 metres and 335 metres west of the farm, represent funerary structures characteristic of the Bronze Age period in the Cotswolds region. Bowl barrows of this type typically consisted of a central burial chamber or cremation deposit surrounded by an earthen mound, serving as monuments to individuals or family groups within the prehistoric community. The survival of these two examples contributes to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practice in this landscape.
