Round barrow NE of Sheephouse Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound situated in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of barrows constructed during the second and early first millennia BC, when such burial structures were the dominant funerary practice among prehistoric communities in southern Britain. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork, though like many such monuments it has been subject to ploughing and other agricultural practices that have affected its original dimensions and profile over time. Such barrows represent significant archaeological resources for understanding Bronze Age burial practices, settlement patterns, and the ritual landscape of prehistoric Wiltshire.
