Bowl barrow on Playford Heath, 870m south of Lux Farm is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Suffolk, England. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common burial form throughout prehistoric Britain from approximately 2000 to 1500 BCE.

The barrow's survival on Playford Heath represents an important archaeological record of early Bronze Age funerary practice in East Anglia.
