Bowl barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Milston-Bulford Down in Wiltshire, England. It forms part of a significant cluster of round barrows distributed across the downland, representing the burial practices of prehistoric communities during the Bronze Age period. The barrow is characterised by its distinctive bowl-shaped mound, a common form among Bronze Age burial structures in southern England, constructed to cover cremated or inhumed remains along with grave goods. As a scheduled ancient monument, it contributes to the archaeological importance of this landscape, which preserves evidence of early metal-working societies and their mortuary customs.
