Rye Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound situated in Staffordshire. The monument survives as a roughly circular earthwork typical of bowl barrows, a common funerary monument type across the Midlands during the second and third millennia before Christ. Its precise dating and original contents remain uncertain, though such monuments commonly contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status or beliefs of the interred individual. The barrow has been designated as a scheduled monument in recognition of its archaeological importance and potential to yield information about prehistoric burial practices and social organisation.
