Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located south of Bulford in Wiltshire, forming part of a significant group of round barrows distributed across this landscape. The monument exemplifies the bowl barrow type, characterised by a circular mound of earth and flint with a relatively gentle profile, typical of funerary monuments constructed during the later Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. As one of several barrows in the Bulford group, it contributes to the archaeological evidence of ritual burial practices and settlement patterns in prehistoric Salisbury Plain. The site is protected as a scheduled monument under national heritage legislation, reflecting its importance to understanding the ceremonial and domestic organisation of ancient Wiltshire communities.
