Bowl barrow on Homington Down is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the chalk downland south of Tottens Farm in Wiltshire. The barrow takes the form of a simple bowl-shaped mound, characteristic of the Bronze Age burial tradition of southern England, and would originally have contained one or more inhumation burials, possibly accompanied by grave goods. Its survival on the open downland, though subject to the effects of ploughing and erosion over millennia, preserves evidence of prehistoric funerary practice and settlement patterns on the Wiltshire chalk. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument and recorded on the National Heritage List for England.
