Bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age round barrow situated on Four Hundred Down in Wiltshire. It forms part of a small barrow group comprising three burial mounds on this chalk downland location. The monument takes its characteristic form from its simple hemispherical mound, typical of bowl barrows constructed during the prehistoric period to mark elite burials. Such monuments represent significant evidence of prehistoric funerary practice and settlement patterns in Wessex, and this example contributes to understanding the distribution and use of burial sites across the Wiltshire downs.
