Four bowl barrows 690m and 550m ESE of The Willows is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northamptonshire. The site comprises four distinct bowl barrows, which are characteristic burial mounds of the Bronze Age period, likely dating to between approximately 2000 and 1500 BCE. Bowl barrows represent one of the most common forms of prehistoric burial monument in Britain and typically contained cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the deceased. Their presence in this landscape indicates sustained use of the area for mortuary practices during the Bronze Age and contributes to understanding prehistoric settlement and ritual patterns in the East Midlands.
