Bowl barrow, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), is a type of burial monument typically containing a central cist or burial pit. This example is part of the Pitcombe Down round barrow cemetery, which is significant for illustrating the funerary practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in southern England.
