Four bowl barrows 140m north of the A303 on Stonehenge Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument comprising four round barrows located on the downland landscape near Stonehenge in Wiltshire. Bowl barrows of this type are among the commonest burial monuments of the Bronze Age, typically constructed as earth mounds raised over cremated or inhumed remains and often surrounded by a ditch. These examples form part of the extensive barrow cemetery that characterises the Stonehenge landscape, reflecting the ritual and burial practices of Bronze Age communities in the third and second millennia before the present era. The site's proximity to Stonehenge itself situates it within one of Britain's most significant prehistoric ritual landscapes.
