Wins Barrow is a bowl barrow located approximately 160 metres south-east of Bourton Hill Farm in Gloucestershire, England. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a funerary monument characteristic of that period, when such earthworks served as burial mounds for individuals of status within their communities. The barrow survives as an earthwork mound with the typical bowl-shaped form from which its classification derives, though its precise dimensions and state of preservation reflect the long process of erosion and landscape management over more than three millennia. As a scheduled ancient monument listed under national heritage protection, Wins Barrow contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices in the Cotswolds region.
