Two bowl barrows on Stand Low is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on Stand Low in Derbyshire. Bowl barrows are among the most common forms of prehistoric burial mound, consisting of a circular earthwork raised over a central grave or cremation deposit. The two examples at this location represent the typical domestic burial practice of Early Bronze Age communities in the English Midlands, dating broadly to the period between 2500 and 1500 BCE. Such monuments often served as focal points for community identity and were frequently reused or added to over generations, though the specific archaeological history of these two barrows remains incompletely documented in available sources.
