Bowl barrow on the southern end of The Long Mynd, 630m east of Myndtown, is a Bronze Age funerary monument of simple hemispherical form. The barrow represents a common burial tradition of the second and early first millennia BC, when such earthen mounds were constructed across upland regions of Britain to mark and contain cremated or inhumed remains. Situated on the high moorland of The Long Mynd ridge, the monument exemplifies the strategic placement of Bronze Age burials on prominent topographical features, which would have been visible landmarks in the landscape. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork on the National Heritage List for England.
