Bowl barrow forming part of the Durrington Down round barrow cemetery is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire, England. The barrow is part of a notable concentration of round barrows on Durrington Down, an archaeological landscape that reflects the funerary practices and settlement patterns of the Bronze Age communities in the Stonehenge region. The monument itself displays the characteristic simple hemispherical mound form typical of bowl barrows, a widespread barrow type constructed during the Bronze Age across southern England. As part of the Durrington Down cemetery, this barrow contributes to the archaeological significance of the locality, which has long been recognised for its density of prehistoric funerary monuments related to the broader Stonehenge complex.
