Robin Hood's Tump is a Bronze Age bowl barrow located in Cheshire, England. The monument comprises a circular earthwork mound typical of funerary monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such tumuli served as communal or elite burial sites across the British landscape. As a scheduled ancient monument, it represents an important archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric settlement and burial practices in the North West region. The barrow's survival to the present day, despite agricultural activity and landscape change over intervening millennia, makes it a significant example of Bronze Age monumental architecture.
