Bowl barrow on Wickerslack Moor is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland in the English Lake District. The barrow takes the form of a circular earthen mound characteristic of bowl barrows, a common burial form throughout Bronze Age Britain. Such monuments typically enclosed cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods, and served as territorial markers within the prehistoric landscape. The barrow's survival on the moorland reflects the preservation conditions afforded by upland terrain, where agriculture and development have been limited.
