Wilsford round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age funerary complex located in Wiltshire, comprising ten bowl barrows, five disc barrows, a bell barrow, a pond barrow and a saucer barrow. These monuments date to the second and early first millennia BC and represent a significant concentration of burial mounds characteristic of the Wessex Bronze Age landscape. The variety of barrow types indicates different burial practices and social distinctions among the prehistoric communities who used the cemetery over an extended period. As a group, these earthworks form an important archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary ritual and settlement patterns in the Wiltshire downlands.
