Overview

History & significance

Round Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Derbyshire. The site consists of a circular earthwork mound characteristic of bowl barrow construction, a form of burial monument common across the British uplands during the third and second millennia before the present. Such monuments typically contained inhumation burials and would have served as enduring landscape markers for the communities that erected them. The barrow's survival as an upstanding archaeological feature contributes to the archaeological record of prehistoric burial practice and settlement patterns in the Peak District region.
