Two bowl barrows forming part of the Winterbourne Stoke crossroads round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age funerary monument complex located near the village of Winterbourne Stoke in Wiltshire, England. The barrows date to the Early to Middle Bronze Age and form part of a larger cemetery of round barrows positioned at a significant crossroads of ancient trackways near Stonehenge. Bowl barrows represent the simplest form of round barrow construction, consisting of a hemispherical mound of earth and chalk rubble raised over a central burial pit and typically surrounded by a ditch. This particular grouping exemplifies the Bronze Age practice of clustering barrows across the chalk downland of Wessex, areas that accumulated barrow cemeteries over many centuries of use as communal burial grounds for local populations.
