Two bowl barrows forming part of the Winterbourne Stoke crossroads round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire, England, near the crossroads of the A303 and the road to Winterbourne Stoke village. These bowl barrows are constituent elements of a significant ceremonial landscape that developed during the Early Bronze Age, representing the funerary practices and social organisation of third and second millennium BC communities. The cemetery comprises multiple burial mounds arranged across the chalk downland, with the two bowl barrows characterised by their simple hemispherical form, typical of the Bronze Age period. The monument is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1012382 and forms part of the broader Stonehenge landscape, an area of considerable archaeological importance for understanding prehistoric settlement, ritual, and mortuary practice in southern Britain.
