Bowl barrow is a round barrow or burial mound located west of The Belt in Wiltshire, England, and represents a funerary monument of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. It forms part of a group of three round barrows in the locality, a distribution pattern typical of prehistoric burial practices across the Wiltshire chalk downlands. The monument survives as an earthwork mound with the characteristic bowl-shaped profile from which its name derives, though like many barrows of this type, it has been subject to ploughing and natural erosion over the millennia. Such barrows served as communal or individual burial places and are among the most visible remains of prehistoric settlement activity in southern England.
