Bowl barrow is a round barrow forming part of a Bronze Age burial group situated on Milston-Bulford Down in Wiltshire. The monument is characteristic of the bowl barrow type, distinguished by a simple hemispherical or bowl-shaped mound of earth and chalk, typical of funerary monuments constructed during the Early to Middle Bronze Age. As one of several barrows occupying this downland location, it represents the pattern of clustered burial activity that characterises many Wiltshire barrow cemeteries. The site contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and settlement patterns on the chalk downlands of southern England.
