Bowl barrow in Towthorpe Plantation is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on the Yorkshire Wolds approximately 800 metres north-north-east of Burdale North Wold. The monument survives as a roughly circular earthwork typical of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument form across the chalk downlands of eastern England during the Bronze Age period. Bowl barrows of this type were constructed as simple, dome-shaped mounds raised over primary inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods including pottery and metalwork. This example represents the broader pattern of Bronze Age funerary practice evident across the Yorkshire Wolds, where numerous such monuments survive as archaeological evidence of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity.
