Oval barrow on Felton Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound situated on elevated ground near The Round House in Somerset. The monument survives as an oval earthwork which, like comparable barrow monuments of its period, would have contained burials and functioned as a territorial marker within the prehistoric landscape. Its precise dating and original construction details remain constrained by available archaeological evidence, though its form is consistent with the barrow-building traditions of southern England during the third and second millennia before the present era. The site is recorded as a nationally important heritage monument under the National Heritage List for England.
