Bowl barrow 300m south of Skyborry is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial monument located in Shropshire. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary form across prehistoric Britain. Such monuments typically served as communal or individual burial places and often contained cremated or inhumed remains, though specific details of any interments at this site are not recorded in the available archaeological literature. The barrow's survival as an upstanding earthwork demonstrates the persistence of these ceremonial monuments across millennia of landscape change.
