Mill Mound is a bowl barrow located approximately 300 metres south-west of Beckingham Hall in Essex, England. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of burial mound characteristic of the period, constructed as a simple dome-shaped earthwork. Bowl barrows of this type typically served as communal or high-status burial sites and are common across southern England from around 2200 to 1500 BCE. The site's survival to the present day, despite agricultural use of the surrounding landscape, makes it of archaeological significance for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in Essex.
