Bowl barrow on summit of Bodbury Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument situated on high ground in Shropshire, approximately one hundred metres north-east of Bodbury Ring. The barrow takes the form of a simple earthwork mound characteristic of prehistoric funerary practice in the British Isles, with a bowl-shaped profile that distinguishes it from more complex barrow types. Its position on the summit of Bodbury Hill suggests deliberate placement on elevated terrain, a common feature of Bronze Age burial sites that would have made the monument visually prominent in the surrounding landscape. The barrow remains a significant record of prehistoric settlement and burial practices in the region, contributing to understanding of the archaeological character of this area of Shropshire.
