Bowl barrow on Iron Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, England. The barrow takes the form of a rounded earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary structure type from the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, though the specific contents of this example are not documented in accessible records. The site's survival to the present day, despite centuries of agricultural use across upland Westmorland, reflects the relative preservation of Bronze Age monuments in these moorland landscapes.
