Round barrow on St Catherine's Hill camp is a Bronze Age burial mound located within the Iron Age hill fort at St Catherine's Hill near Winchester, Hampshire. The barrow sits within the ramparts of the later Iron Age fortification, indicating that it significantly predates the construction of the hill fort itself. As a round barrow, it represents a funerary monument typical of Bronze Age burial practice in southern England, when such mounds were raised over cremated or inhumed remains of the deceased. The survival of the barrow within the later Iron Age defensive work provides archaeological evidence of continuity and reuse of significant landscape features across different periods of prehistoric settlement in the Winchester area.
