Bowl barrow on Oxendean Down is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound situated on the chalk downland of Wiltshire. The monument takes the form of a simple hemispherical or bowl-shaped mound, a characteristic barrow type of the later prehistoric period. Bowl barrows of this form are typically dated to the Bronze Age, though some may have earlier Neolithic origins, and represent individual or family burial structures that are widespread across the downland regions of southern England. The site is recorded as a scheduled ancient monument reflecting its significance as evidence of prehistoric funerary practice and settlement patterns on Salisbury Plain and its surrounding uplands.
