Round barrow cemetery 400m south of Avebury henge monument on Waden Hill is a Bronze Age burial complex comprising multiple burial mounds positioned on rising ground south of the Neolithic henge monument. The barrows form part of the extensive mortuary landscape associated with Avebury, one of Britain's most significant prehistoric ceremonial centres, and demonstrate the continued ritual use of the area during the Bronze Age, several centuries after the construction of the henge itself. The cemetery's placement relative to Avebury reflects the broader pattern of Bronze Age burial practice in the region, where elite or important individuals were interred in prominent locations visible across the surrounding landscape.
