Oval barrow on Keysley Down is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Wiltshire, positioned approximately 1040 metres north-north-east of Chapel Field Barn.

The site is recorded within the National Heritage List for England and represents one of numerous burial mounds that proliferate across the Wiltshire downlands, testament to the considerable settlement and ritual activity of Bronze Age communities in the region.
