Bowl barrow 350m south-west of Merryton Low is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Staffordshire. The site consists of a circular earthwork typical of the bowl barrow form, a burial mound constructed during the Bronze Age period, likely within the second millennium BCE. Such monuments functioned as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and frequently served as focal points for ritual activity within prehistoric landscapes. The barrow's survival as an upstanding archaeological feature contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices in the English Midlands.
