Lamber Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound located in Staffordshire. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthen mound typical of bowl barrow construction, a common funerary monument form across the Midlands during the prehistoric period. Such barrows served as communal or individual burial sites and often contained cremated or inhumed remains, though the specific contents and excavation history of Lamber Low are not extensively documented in standard archaeological records. The site survives as an earthwork and represents an important element of Staffordshire's prehistoric landscape and burial practices.
