Ring Holt bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound located in Lincolnshire, England. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of bowl barrows from this period, characterised by a central burial chamber or grave surrounded by a raised mound of earth. Such barrows represent significant funerary monuments reflecting the burial practices and social organisation of prehistoric communities in the East Midlands. The site's survival to the present day provides evidence of the long-inhabited landscape of Lincolnshire and the ritual importance placed upon monumental burial during the third and second millennia before the Common Era.
