Lower Thorpe bowl barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Northamptonshire. The monument is a bowl barrow, a simple earthwork typified by a circular mound constructed over a central burial deposit. This form of ceremonial burial monument is characteristic of the Bronze Age period, when such structures were erected across the English landscape to inter the dead and mark their resting places within the visible settlement pattern. The barrow survives as an archaeological feature of significance to the understanding of Bronze Age mortuary practices and land use in the East Midlands.
