Town Low bowl barrow is a Neolithic or Early Bronze Age burial mound located in Staffordshire. The monument consists of a circular earthwork typical of bowl barrows, a common burial form constructed during the later Neolithic period through the Bronze Age in Britain. As with similar barrows of this type, the site would originally have served as a communal or individual burial place, representing a significant investment of labour by the local community. The barrow survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains of archaeological interest for understanding prehistoric settlement and funerary practices in the Midlands region.
