Friden Hollow bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument located in Derbyshire, England. The site consists of a burial mound of characteristic bowl barrow form, representing a common mortuary practice of prehistoric communities in the Midlands during the third and second millennia before the common era. Bowl barrows of this type typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods such as pottery or flint implements, though specific archaeological findings from this particular barrow would require reference to site-specific excavation records. The monument survives as an earthwork and remains a significant indicator of prehistoric settlement and ritual activity in the Derbyshire landscape.
