Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located south of Bulford in Wiltshire. It forms part of a significant cluster of round barrows distributed across this landscape, reflecting the intensive use of the area for burial practice during the prehistoric period. The barrow takes its name from its characteristic bowl-shaped mound form, a common morphology among Bronze Age burial monuments in southern England. Such monuments are typically repositories of cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods indicative of the social status and material culture of their period.
