Bowl barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of the Normanton Down round barrow cemetery, located near Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The monument is a typical example of a bowl barrow, characterised by its simple hemispherical or bowl-shaped earthwork with a surrounding ditch, a common funerary form of the Early and Middle Bronze Age. Normanton Down represents one of the most significant concentrations of round barrows in southern England, reflecting intensive use of the landscape for burial during the Bronze Age period. The barrow cemetery as a whole demonstrates the ritual and social importance of the Stonehenge region during the second millennium before the Common Era.
