Bowl barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound forming part of a cemetery of round barrows situated on Milston-Bulford Down in Wiltshire. The monument is a characteristic example of bowl barrow construction, distinguished by its simple hemispherical earthwork with a gently sloped profile. As one of several barrows comprising this down-land group, it represents the concentrated funerary activity of Chalcolithic and Bronze Age communities in the Wiltshire chalk uplands. The barrow is statutorily protected as a scheduled monument and remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric burial practice and settlement patterns in the region.
