Bowl barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located west of The Belt in Wiltshire, England. It is one of three round barrows in this grouping and represents the characteristic funerary monument type of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to contain burials and grave goods. The barrow is defined by its simple hemispherical form, typical of bowl barrows, which distinguishes it from other round barrow variants. As a scheduled monument, it retains archaeological significance for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the Wiltshire landscape.
