Bowl barrow 520m north east of the shoulder angle of Bokerley Dyke on Martin Down is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument situated on the chalk downland of Martin Down in Wiltshire. The barrow survives as a low earthwork mound characteristic of the bowl barrow form, which represents one of the most common types of round barrow found across southern England during this period. Its location on Martin Down places it within a landscape rich in prehistoric monuments, including the nearby Bokerley Dyke linear earthwork. The precise dating and original extent of burials within this barrow are not definitively established in the available record, though its morphology and location suggest occupation of this significant ritual and funerary landscape spanning the third and second millennia before the present.
