Round barrow east of Milston Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The monument is a well-preserved example of the round barrows that proliferated across southern England during the Bronze Age, typically dating to between 2000 and 1500 BCE. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound and forms part of the wider landscape of prehistoric funerary monuments characteristic of the Wiltshire downs. Such barrows served as burial places, often containing cremated or inhumed remains, and frequently held artefacts of bronze, flint, or pottery that accompanied the dead.
