Bush Barrow

Bowl barrow in England

Bush Barrow is a site of the early British Bronze Age Wessex culture (c. 1950 BC), at the western end of the Normanton Down Barrows ancient cemetery in Wiltshire, England. It is among the most important sites of the Stonehenge complex, having produced some of the most spectacular grave goods in Britain. It was excavated in 1808 by William Cunnington for Sir Richard Colt Hoare. The finds, including worked gold objects, are displayed at Wiltshire Museum in Devizes. The finds from Bush Barrow have been described as "the Crown Jewels of the King of Stonehenge".
