Bowl barrow 70m north-west of The Boxes is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Staffordshire, England.

Such barrows typically contained single or multiple inhumations and served as focal points for ritual and burial practices within their contemporary landscapes. The monument's survival to the present day, despite agricultural use of the surrounding land, makes it an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary custom and settlement patterns in the region.
