Bowl barrow 350m east of the shoulder angle of Bokerley Dyke on Martin Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire, England, situated within the complex archaeological landscape of Martin Down. The monument survives as a roughly circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows of the second millennium BC, representing a burial practice common in southern England during the Bronze Age. Its proximity to Bokerley Dyke, an Iron Age linear earthwork, places it within a palimpsest of prehistoric and protohistoric activity on the downland. The barrow's survival and official designation reflect its significance as evidence of Bronze Age funerary practice and settlement patterns in the Dorset and Wiltshire borderlands.
