Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age round barrow situated on Silk Hill in Wiltshire, England. The monument forms part of a group of round barrows that occupy this elevated location, reflecting the importance of the area as a burial ground during prehistory. Bowl barrows of this type are characterised by their distinctive dome-shaped mounds of earth and stone, constructed over cremated or inhumed remains and typically accompanied by grave goods. The barrow group on Silk Hill represents a significant concentration of prehistoric funerary monuments and contributes to our understanding of settlement patterns and ritual practices in prehistoric Wiltshire.
