Bowl barrow is a round barrow situated on Four Hundred Down in Wiltshire, England, and forms part of a group of three such monuments on this elevated chalk downland location. The barrow dates to the Bronze Age and represents a funerary monument of the type constructed during the second millennium before the present era. As a bowl barrow, the monument is characterised by its distinctive circular mound form with gently sloping sides, a morphology typical of Bronze Age burial practice across the chalk downlands of southern England. The barrow, recorded under NHLE list entry 1009749, survives as an earthwork and contributes to the archaeological landscape of the Four Hundred Down complex.
