King Barrow is a bowl barrow located on Coneybury Hill in Wiltshire, England, dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period. The monument forms part of a significant concentration of burial mounds on the hill, which reflects the importance of this location as a cemetery during prehistoric times. The barrow is a substantial earthwork comprising a central mound surrounded by a ditch, typical of bowl barrow construction from this era. Together with the adjacent bowl barrow also present on Coneybury Hill, King Barrow contributes to the archaeological evidence of sustained ritual and funerary practice in the Wiltshire chalk landscape during the third and second millennia before the present.
