Bowl barrow on the southern end of The Long Mynd, 630m east of Myndtown, is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on high moorland in Shropshire. The barrow comprises a circular earthwork mound characteristic of the bowl barrow type, a common form of burial monument erected during the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. Such monuments typically served as burial places for prominent members of prehistoric communities, and their prominent siting on ridgelines and high ground suggests deliberate placement within the contemporary landscape. The barrow survives as an earthwork feature, demonstrating the enduring physical presence of Bronze Age burial practices in the Shropshire hills.
