Round Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound located in Derbyshire, England. The monument consists of a circular earthwork of modest dimensions typical of bowl barrows from this period, constructed as a funerary monument to contain cremated or inhumed remains. Such barrows represent an important class of prehistoric ritual landscape features that are widespread across the English uplands and demonstrate the burial practices and ceremonial significance of early agricultural communities in Britain. The site's preservation and recording as a scheduled monument reflects its archaeological value as evidence of prehistoric settlement and mortuary practice in the Peak District region.
