Royal Oak round barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located approximately 320 metres north of Listercombe Bottom in Gloucestershire. The monument survives as a prominent earthwork characteristic of the round barrow tradition practised during the Bronze Age, when such structures served as burial monuments for individuals of social standing. Its scheduled ancient monument designation reflects its archaeological importance as evidence of prehistoric funerary practices and settlement patterns in the Cotswold region. The barrow's preservation as an upstanding earthwork contributes to the understanding of Bronze Age monumental construction and the distribution of burial sites across the English landscape.
