Bowl barrow 150m north of the A303 on Countess Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Wiltshire. The barrow represents a characteristic burial form of the second and early first millennia BC, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the graves of Bronze Age communities. The monument consists of a simple bowl-shaped mound without the more elaborate ditches or surrounding features found in some contemporary barrows, reflecting a relatively modest construction typical of smaller Bronze Age burials in the Wiltshire landscape.
