Bowl barrow 40m north of Rushley Barn is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Staffordshire. The barrow survives as a round earthwork mound of modest proportions, characteristic of the bowl barrow form that was widely constructed across Britain during the third and second millennia before the present. Such monuments typically served as burial sites, often containing cremated or inhumed remains within a central chamber or pit. The survival of this example contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric funerary practices in the region, though its specific internal structure and contents remain undocumented in the available scholarly sources.
