Upton Lovell is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It lies on the A36, in the Wylye valley about 5 miles southeast of Warminster. The parish is on the left bank of the river, and stretches for over two miles northeast onto Salisbury Plain.
Upton Great Barrow, on the high ground of Knook Horse Hill, is a Bronze Age bell barrow, with a central mound 34m in diameter and 2.5m high. When Colt Hoare excavated it, around 1812, he found a cremation with a necklace of amber, shale and earthenware beads; the necklace is now at the Wiltshire Museum, Devizes. Earlier, William Cunnington had opened nearby bowl barrows and found cremations with grave goods including a bronze dagger. Further north are two rare saucer barrows.
