Winterbourne Stoke Down is a Bronze Age round barrow cemetery comprising five bowl barrows and two saucer barrows situated on the chalk downland of Wiltshire, England. The site forms part of the wider distribution of funerary monuments in the Stonehenge landscape, dating to the second millennium BCE. Bowl barrows represent the most common form of Bronze Age burial monument, characterised by their distinctive hemispherical mounds, whilst saucer barrows are flatter variants with more gently sloping profiles. The cemetery demonstrates the sequential use of the landscape for ritual and burial purposes across the Bronze Age period, reflecting patterns of settlement and mortuary practice in Neolithic and Bronze Age Wessex.
