Osmaston Fields bowl barrow, south is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Derbyshire, England. The monument consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of bowl barrows, a common funerary form across prehistoric Britain dating to the Bronze Age period. The barrow was constructed to cover inhumations or cremations and would originally have risen as a substantial earthwork before later agricultural activity and erosion reduced its profile. As part of the broader ritual and burial landscape of Derbyshire's Bronze Age communities, it represents the ceremonial practices and social structures of its era.
