Five bowl barrows 300m north of Chalk Hill Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising five burial mounds forming part of the Cow Common round barrow cemetery in Gloucestershire. The barrows are simple bowl-shaped earthworks typical of Bronze Age burial practice in the region, constructed to cover inhumations or cremations and their associated grave goods. The site represents an important concentration of prehistoric funerary activity, with the broader Cow Common cemetery demonstrating sustained use of the location across the Bronze Age period. The monument survives as earthwork remains and contributes significantly to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Cotswolds.
