Round barrow cemetery and hollow ways on Beacon Hill is a Bronze Age funerary and routeway complex located in Hampshire, England. The site comprises a group of round barrows, characteristic burial monuments of the Bronze Age period, arranged as a cemetery, alongside hollow ways that represent ancient trackways worn into the landscape through prolonged use. The barrows demonstrate the ritual and burial practices of Bronze Age communities, while the hollow ways indicate significant patterns of movement and communication across the landscape during prehistory and potentially later periods. Together, the monuments illustrate the layered use of this elevated location as both a place of the dead and a route of passage for the living.
