Lean Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound situated in Derbyshire. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type across the English uplands during prehistory. Such barrows typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status or beliefs of the interred individual. The site represents an important element of the ritual landscape and funerary practice of prehistoric Derbyshire, contributing to our understanding of settlement patterns and social organisation during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
