Bowl barrow on the south east corner of Larkhill Race Course is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire, positioned within the distinctive archaeological landscape of the Salisbury Plain. The monument comprises a simple bowl-shaped earthwork, characteristic of round barrows constructed during the Bronze Age, which typically served as burial repositories for individuals of status within their communities. The barrow's survival within the boundary of the modern racecourse demonstrates its resilience despite subsequent land use and development in the vicinity of Larkhill.
