Bowl barrow on King's Play Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound situated in Wiltshire, designated as a scheduled ancient monument. The barrow takes the form of a simple earthen mound typical of early Bronze Age funerary practice, constructed to cover an inhumation burial beneath its dome-shaped structure. Its location on King's Play Hill, approximately 420 metres north of Hill Cottage, places it within a landscape rich in prehistoric monumental remains characteristic of Wiltshire's Downs. The monument represents the burial practices and social organisation of communities during the Bronze Age period, when such individual or small group burials marked the landscape with enduring earthworks.
