Bowl barrow at the eastern end of Ballard Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Dorset, England. The monument comprises a circular earthwork with a bowl-shaped profile, characteristic of barrow construction during the second millennium before the common era. Positioned on the chalk downland of the Ballard Down ridge, it forms part of a wider landscape of prehistoric funerary monuments that testify to Bronze Age settlement and ceremonial practices in this region. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork, contributing to the archaeological evidence of ritual practices and social organisation during the Bronze Age period.
