Bowl barrow on Great Mell Fell is a Bronze Age burial mound situated on the slopes of Great Mell Fell in the Lake District, Cumberland. The monument takes the form of a simple hemispherical earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type constructed during the Bronze Age. The barrow forms part of a broader landscape of prehistoric burial monuments distributed across the fells of northern England, reflecting patterns of settlement and ritual activity in the second millennium BC. As a scheduled monument, it remains an important archaeological resource for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practice and landscape use in the upland regions of the northwest.
