Green Barrow on Hawkridge Common is a Bronze Age burial mound located in the Exmoor region of Somerset. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound which, like other funerary monuments of this period, would have contained inhumation or cremation deposits within a central grave structure. It forms part of the wider Bronze Age ceremonial and funerary landscape of Hawkridge Common, where multiple barrows testify to sustained ritual and burial activity during the second millennium BCE. The monument is registered on the National Heritage List for England and remains an important archaeological witness to prehistoric settlement patterns and burial practices on Exmoor.
