Flowerdown Barrows is a Bronze Age Barrow site near Littleton, Winchester, Hampshire, England. It is a scheduled monument looked after by English Heritage.
The site has three Bronze Age burial mounds in a much larger cemetery, two bowl barrows and a well-preserved disc barrow which has been described as "the finest in Hampshire".[1] The disc barrow is 28m (92feet) in diameter and contains two circular mounds of 7m (23feet) and 6m (20feet) diameter respectively. The larger mound is centrally positioned and has a central hollow.[2] The larger of the two bowl barrows is 20m (70feet) in diameter and 1m (03feet) high. The other, situated close to the edge of the disc barrow, is 8m (26feet) in diameter and only 0.3m (01feet) high.[3]
