Bowl barrow on Earl's Farm Down within Boscombe Down Airfield is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Wiltshire, comprising a circular mound of earth and chalk typical of barrow construction in southern England during the second millennium BC. The monument sits within the wider archaeological landscape of Boscombe Down, an area of considerable prehistoric significance containing numerous barrows and associated burial features. Its form and position indicate it functioned as a burial place for a member or members of Bronze Age communities occupying the chalk downland of central Wiltshire. The barrow survives as a recognisable earthwork despite its location within the twentieth-century airfield, testament to both its original substantial construction and the preservation of archaeological features across the site.
