Brushfield Hough bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Derbyshire, England. The site comprises a burial mound of characteristic bowl barrow form, representing a common type of ceremonial earthwork constructed during the later prehistoric period. Such monuments served as repositories for the deceased and functioned as prominent landscape markers within their contemporary communities. The barrow's survival to the present day, despite subsequent agricultural use of the surrounding land, provides archaeological evidence for burial practices and settlement patterns in this region during the third and second millennia before the Common Era.
