Bowl barrow on Westwood Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated approximately fifty metres north of Blackmill in Yorkshire. The barrow survives as a roughly circular mound characteristic of bowl barrow form, the most common type of Bronze Age burial mound in Britain. Such monuments typically date from the period between approximately 2200 and 1500 BC, serving as focal points for ritual activity and the interment of high-status individuals within their communities. The barrow's survival as a recognisable earthwork demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age funerary practice in the Yorkshire landscape, though like many similar monuments it has been subject to erosion and agricultural activity over subsequent millennia.
