Bowl barrow on Wickerslack Moor is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland in the Lake District region of northern England. The barrow survives as a distinctive rounded mound of earth and stone, characteristic of bowl barrow construction during the Bronze Age period, typically dating from around 2000 to 1500 BCE. Such monuments served as burial structures for individuals of social status within prehistoric communities, and their distribution across the landscape reflects patterns of settlement and territorial organisation during this era. The barrow's survival on Wickerslack Moor contributes to the archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary practice in the upland regions of northern England.
