Bowl barrow on Brund Fell is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cumberland, England. The site consists of a circular earthwork with a raised central mound surrounded by a shallow ditch, characteristic of bowl barrow construction typical of the second millennium BC. Such monuments served as burial places for individuals of elevated status within prehistoric communities and are distributed across the upland regions of northern England. The barrow's survival on Brund Fell reflects the relative preservation of Bronze Age archaeology in upland landscapes where post-prehistoric land use has been less intensive than in lowland areas.
