Bowl barrow is a Bronze Age round barrow located east of Carter Barracks in Wiltshire, England. The monument forms part of a pair of barrows in this locality and represents the characteristic burial mound architecture of the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows are defined by their distinctive simple hemispherical form, created by heaping earth and stone over one or more burials. This particular example contributes to the significant concentration of prehistoric funerary monuments found across the Wiltshire landscape, an area of considerable archaeological importance for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns.
