Nether Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound located in Derbyshire, England. The monument consists of a circular earthen mound characteristic of bowl barrow construction, a common form of burial architecture across the English uplands during the prehistoric period. The site represents an important example of funerary practice from this era and contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement and burial patterns in the Peak District region. Like many barrows of its type, it would originally have contained inhumation burials, though subsequent disturbance and excavation history may have affected the survival of archaeological deposits.
