Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located west of Brigmerston Plantation in Wiltshire. It forms part of a group of four round barrows in this locality, representing a small clustered cemetery typical of prehistoric burial practices on the chalk downlands of Wessex. The barrow takes its name from its characteristic bowl-shaped mound, a common form for Bronze Age burial mounds in southern England. Such monuments are significant archaeological records of ritual practices and settlement patterns during the later prehistoric period.
