Bowl barrow 50m south of A303 is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire, England, situated in close proximity to the A303 road. The monument consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrow form, representing a common funerary monument type constructed across southern England during the prehistoric period. Bowl barrows of this type typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as focal points for ritual and commemorative activity within Bronze Age landscapes. The barrow's survival to the present day, despite its location near a major modern road, preserves evidence of prehistoric burial practices and settlement patterns in the Wiltshire downlands.
