Bowl barrow 290m north east of the junction of Bokerley Dyke and a linear earthwork on Martin Down is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Wiltshire. The barrow takes the form of a simple mounded earthwork characteristic of funerary practices during the Bronze Age period. Its position on Martin Down, near the significant Romano-British linear earthwork known as Bokerley Dyke, places it within a landscape of considerable archaeological importance spanning multiple periods. The monument survives as a testament to prehistoric burial customs and contributes to the understanding of settlement and land use patterns on the Dorset–Wiltshire border.
