Pond barrow is a Neolithic burial monument situated on the western margin of Durrington Down Plantation in Wiltshire. The barrow takes its name from the pond feature that characterises its form, a type of monument distinguished by a central depression rather than the raised mound typical of many prehistoric burial structures. Dating to the Neolithic period, it represents an important example of the varied barrow forms constructed during this era across the Wessex landscape. The monument remains a significant archaeological feature contributing to the dense concentration of prehistoric ritual and funerary sites in the Durrington Walls area.
