Bowl barrow 150m north of the Alton White Horse is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire. The monument survives as a rounded earthen mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type across the Wiltshire downlands dating to the Bronze Age period. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the deceased. The barrow's proximity to the Alton White Horse, a chalk figure of later date, places it within a landscape rich in archaeological features spanning multiple periods.
