Bowl barrow on Sugar Hill is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a circular mound of earth and stone constructed as a funerary monument, typical of the barrow cemetery tradition that flourished across the Wessex downs during the second millennium BC. Bowl barrows of this type were built to contain cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods that reflected the status of the deceased. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork and forms part of the wider landscape of prehistoric ritual monuments in the region.
