Dun Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Staffordshire, England. The site consists of a burial mound of characteristic bowl barrow form, a round earthen tumulus typical of prehistoric burial practices in Britain. Bowl barrows of this type were commonly constructed during the Bronze Age, though some examples may date to the later Neolithic period, and typically contained inhumation or cremation burials within or beneath the mound. The monument remains significant as evidence of prehistoric mortuary practice and territorial organisation in the English Midlands.
