Bowl barrow 350m south-west of Merryton Low is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Staffordshire. The barrow is a simple bowl-shaped earthwork typical of Bronze Age funerary practice, constructed as a mound of earth and stone to cover one or more inhumations or cremations. Such monuments are characteristic of the early to middle Bronze Age period in Britain, when communal and individual burial under barrows was a widespread cultural practice. The site's proximity to other known barrows in the landscape reflects the clustering of burial monuments that often characterises Bronze Age ritual sites.
