Bowl barrow on The Roundabout is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Staffordshire, England. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type dating from the Bronze Age period. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods that would have indicated the status of the deceased. The barrow's survival to the present day, despite potential disturbance over the millennia, contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices in the English Midlands.
