Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age round barrow located on Milston-Bulford Down in Wiltshire, England. The monument forms part of a significant grouping of round barrows distributed across this downland landscape, which represents an important concentration of burial activity in prehistoric southern England. The barrow is of the bowl type, characterised by a simple hemispherical mound without a surrounding ditch, a form typical of Bronze Age mortuary practice. As part of the wider barrow cemetery on the Down, it contributes to our understanding of funerary traditions and settlement patterns during the later prehistoric period in the Wessex region.
