Bowl Barrow north of Greenland Farm is a scheduled monument located in Wiltshire, situated on chalk bedrock of the White Chalk Subgroup. The barrow occupies a position 250 metres north of Greenland Farm at grid reference SU 09885 44089, within a landscape of Maastrichtian-age chalk that would have been accessible to prehistoric communities and suitable for burial mound construction. The monument is protected by Historic England under scheduled monument reference 1010905, with a scheduled area of 0.11 hectares.
Bowl barrows are amongst the most common type of burial mound found across southern England, typically dating to the Bronze Age. Their simple domed form, created by heaping chalk and soil, made them practical monuments to construct whilst being visually prominent in the surrounding landscape. The chalk geology of this Wiltshire location would have provided readily available material for such mound construction.
The barrow's preservation as a scheduled monument reflects its significance as evidence of Bronze Age burial practice and landuse in this part of Wiltshire. The monument contributes to understanding settlement and ceremonial patterns across the chalk downlands of the region, an area with considerable concentrations of prehistoric earthworks.
