Bowl barrow on Archford Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Staffordshire. The site consists of a characteristic dome-shaped earthwork typical of bowl barrows, a common burial form across Britain during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. Such monuments typically contained cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status of the interred individual. The barrow's survival on Archford Moor contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices in the Midlands region.
