Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound located on Beacon Hill, Bulford Down, in Wiltshire. It forms part of a dispersed group of barrows characteristic of the ritual landscape in this region of Salisbury Plain, which saw intensive use for funerary purposes during the third and second millennia before the present. The monument survives as an earthen mound of rounded form, typical of bowl barrow morphology. Like other barrows in this locality, it represents evidence of the ceremonial and burial practices of prehistoric communities, though specific details of its excavation history and internal structure remain subject to archaeological record.
