One of two bowl barrows on Bole Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound located in Derbyshire. Bowl barrows represent one of the simplest and most common forms of prehistoric burial monument, consisting of a earthen mound raised over a central grave or cremation. The barrow on Bole Hill survives as an upstanding earthwork, though like many such monuments it has been subject to erosion and disturbance over millennia. The presence of two barrows in close proximity suggests this location held particular significance as a burial place during the Bronze Age period when such monuments were constructed in clusters across the Derbyshire landscape.
