Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age round barrow situated on Milston-Bulford Down in Wiltshire. The monument belongs to a group of burial mounds occupying this downland location, characteristic of the concentrated distribution of funerary monuments across the Salisbury Plain landscape. The barrow is of the bowl type, distinguished by its simple hemispherical earthwork form without the more elaborate features such as ditches or outer banks that define more complex barrow classes. As a round barrow, it represents the funerary practices and ritual landscape of prehistoric communities in Wessex and contributes to the archaeological record of mortuary activity spanning the later Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
