Bowl barrow 90m south of Pike-eel Well is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Cumberland, England. The site represents a typical example of the round barrow tradition that flourished across northern England during the second millennium BC, when such earthworks served as prominent markers for elite or community burials. The barrow survives as a bowl-shaped mound, a form characteristic of Bronze Age funerary architecture, though like many such monuments its original dimensions and contents have been subject to erosion and land use over subsequent millennia. This monument contributes to the archaeological landscape of Bronze Age ceremonial and mortuary practice in the upland regions of north-western England.
