Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound forming part of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery on Milston-Bulford Down in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a simple circular mound without ditches or other earthwork features, characteristic of the bowl barrow type that became prevalent during the Bronze Age. It sits within a larger group of round barrows distributed across the downland, which collectively represent an important burial landscape of the second and early first millennia BC. The site reflects the funerary practices and territorial organisation of prehistoric communities in the Salisbury Plain region.
