Bowl barrow 400m south east of Greenland Farm is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of a linear cemetery of round barrows situated west of the Lesser Cursus in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a simple bowl-shaped mound characteristic of earlier Bronze Age funerary practice, constructed as a durable earthwork to commemorate and contain the dead. Its position within an established barrow cemetery reflects the deliberate clustering of burials across the landscape, a pattern common in the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age periods. The site contributes to the significant archaeological complex around the Lesser Cursus, an important Neolithic monument, demonstrating the long-term ritual and burial use of this area of Salisbury Plain.
