A group of five bowl barrows south of Bulford Camp is a Bronze Age burial monument located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. The barrows form part of the extensive barrow cemetery that characterises this region of downland, where such burial mounds represent the funerary practices of the early to middle Bronze Age communities who inhabited the Chalk uplands. Bowl barrows are the most common form of round barrow, comprising a simple mound of earth and flint raised over a central burial deposit, typically accompanied by grave goods. These five examples, positioned south of the Roman and later military installation at Bulford Camp, contribute to the archaeological landscape that documents the long history of human activity and settlement on Salisbury Plain.
