Bowl barrow in The Belt is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located approximately 350 metres north east of Hill Barn in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type distributed across the chalk downlands of southern England. Bowl barrows of this form typically date from the Bronze Age, though some may be of earlier Neolithic origin, and served as burial places, often containing inhumations or cremations within central graves or beneath the mound itself. The site is recorded on the National Heritage List for England under entry 1019901 and represents an important example of prehistoric funerary practice in the Wiltshire landscape.
