Sutton Common bowl barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Yorkshire, England. The site is a bowl barrow, a burial mound characterised by a simple hemispherical earthwork raised over a central grave pit, a form typical of early Bronze Age practice in Britain dating to around 2000–1500 BCE. The monument survives as an earthwork and represents an important example of prehistoric burial practice in the Yorkshire landscape. Bowl barrows of this type commonly contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods such as pottery and flint, reflecting the ritual practices and social organisation of Bronze Age communities.
