Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located south of Bulford in Wiltshire, England. It forms part of a group of round barrows characteristic of the prehistoric cemetery landscape in this region of Salisbury Plain, dating to the period between approximately 3000 and 1500 BCE. The monument comprises a circular earthen mound with a distinctive bowl-shaped profile, from which its name derives, and represents the funerary practices of early agricultural communities in southern Britain. The barrow group reflects the intensive use of this area for ritual burial during the Bronze Age, when such monuments served as prominent markers of ancestral and territorial significance.
