Middleton Moor platformed bowl barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Derbyshire, England. The barrow comprises a bowl-shaped mound constructed upon an artificial platform, a distinctive architectural feature that reflects deliberate landscape modification typical of later prehistoric burial practices. The site dates to the Bronze Age period, when such earthworks served as prominent markers for elite or community burials across the upland regions of the Midlands. The platformed construction suggests careful ceremonial planning and represents an important example of Bronze Age mortuary architecture in the region.
