Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located within Milston Down Wood in Wiltshire, England. The barrow is one of a group of eight round barrows occupying this woodland site, representing a significant concentration of prehistoric burial activity in the area. As a bowl barrow, it exhibits the characteristic dome-shaped mound form typical of Bronze Age burial monuments, though such earthworks may have originated in the Neolithic period. The barrow group at Milston Down Wood reflects the importance of this locality as a burial ground during the later prehistoric periods and contributes to understanding settlement and ritual practices in the Wiltshire chalk downlands.
