Bowl barrow is a round barrow situated south of Bulford in Wiltshire, England, forming part of a larger group of burial mounds in the area. The monument dates to the Bronze Age and represents a typical example of the funerary architecture of this period, comprising an earthen mound raised over one or more inhumation burials. Bowl barrows of this type are characterised by their distinctive hemispherical or bowl-shaped profile, which gives the class its name. The barrow group south of Bulford reflects the concentrated use of this landscape for ceremonial burial during the Bronze Age, a pattern common across the Wessex downlands.
