Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located south of Bulford in Wiltshire. It is one of a dispersed group of round barrows characteristic of the chalk downlands of central Wiltshire, a landscape densely populated with such monuments during the third and second millennia before the present. The barrow takes its form from a simple earthen mound with a circular plan, typical of bowl-shaped burial monuments of this period. As part of the broader barrow cemetery south of Bulford, it contributes to the archaeological record documenting prehistoric settlement, ritual practice, and burial customs on Salisbury Plain.
