Bowl barrow is a round barrow situated on Milston-Bulford Down in Wiltshire, England, forming part of a significant Bronze Age burial landscape. The monument is characterized by its distinctive bowl-shaped earthwork, a form typical of early Bronze Age funerary monuments dating to approximately 2000–1500 BCE. As one of several barrows clustered across the downland, it reflects the organized use of prominent topography for burial and ritual purposes during the early second millennium BCE. The site's survival within a group context contributes to the archaeological understanding of Bronze Age ceremonial and mortuary practices in the chalk downlands of central Wiltshire.
