Bowl barrow 230m north of North Wood is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Staffordshire. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common burial form across prehistoric Britain. Such monuments typically date from the Bronze Age, though some examples may originate in the Neolithic period, and served as repositories for inhumed or cremated remains, frequently accompanied by grave goods. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric burial practices in the region.
