Burton Moor bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Derbyshire. The site consists of a round barrow of typical bowl form, representing a burial tradition widespread across prehistoric Britain during the third and second millennia before the present era. Such monuments served as focal points for ritual deposition and commemoration of the dead, often constructed by communities practising mixed farming economies. The barrow's survival on Burton Moor demonstrates the persistence of these archaeological features across the landscape, though like many similar monuments it has been subject to degradation and modification over subsequent millennia.
