Bowl barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on Silk Hill in Wiltshire, England. It forms part of a notable group of round barrows characteristic of the early and middle Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark high-status burials across the chalk downlands of southern England. The barrow is of bowl type, distinguished by its simple hemispherical form without the ditch and bank features found in more elaborate examples. As a scheduled ancient monument, it represents an important survival of Wiltshire's rich prehistoric burial landscape, with the barrow group on Silk Hill demonstrating the clustering patterns typical of Bronze Age funerary practice.
