Bowl barrow 680m SSE of the southern corner of Moll Harris's Clump is a Bronze Age funerary monument forming part of the barrow cemetery on Porton Down in Wiltshire. The structure exhibits the characteristic form of a bowl barrow, comprising an earthen mound raised over a burial deposit, typical of the funerary practices of the second and early first millennia before the present. The barrow occupies the open downland landscape which has preserved numerous round barrows from prehistoric periods, contributing to the archaeological significance of Porton Down as a repository of Bronze Age burial evidence. This monument, recorded in the National Heritage List for England, represents an important component of the broader barrow group that documents patterns of settlement, social organisation, and ritual practice during the Bronze Age.
