Bowl Barrow 180m WNW of Nosehill Farm is a scheduled monument in Gloucestershire, located near Nosehill Farm at grid reference SP 12065 25945. The barrow stands on bedrock of the Great Oolite Group, a geological formation of sandstone, limestone and argillaceous rocks laid down during the Bathonian period of the Jurassic. This varied geology has shaped the landscape across the Cotswolds and would have been familiar to the Bronze Age communities who constructed the monument.
Bowl barrows are characterised by their simple hemispherical mound of earth and stone, raised over a central burial pit. Dating typically to the Bronze Age, they represent one of the most common funerary monuments in Britain.

The monument is protected by Historic England as a nationally significant heritage asset under reference 1011981. The scheduled designation recognises its value as an irreplaceable source of evidence about Bronze Age communities in Gloucestershire. The site's survival depends upon the continuation of appropriate land management to preserve its earthwork and the archaeological deposits it contains.
