Bush Barrow, Bronze Age bowl barrow in Wilsford cum Lake, England.
The burial mound forms part of a cemetery containing multiple barrows positioned on a slope overlooking the Avon valley in Wiltshire.
Excavations during the nineteenth century revealed numerous gold artifacts and burial objects dating back to approximately 2000 BC within the central chamber.
The arrangement and contents of Bush Barrow demonstrate the complex social structures and burial practices of Bronze Age communities in southern Britain.
Access to the archaeological site requires following designated pathways through Wilsford cum Lake, with informational signs providing guidance to visitors.
The barrow contains specific architectural features of the period, including a rounded earthen mound constructed over a central burial chamber.
