Upton bowl barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northamptonshire. The barrow takes the form of a earthen mound characteristic of the Early to Middle Bronze Age period, roughly dating between 2000 and 1500 BCE. Bowl barrows of this type typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods such as pottery or metalwork, and served as focal points for elite or family burial practices in prehistoric Britain. The monument survives as a scheduled ancient monument and represents an important element of the Bronze Age landscape archaeology of the East Midlands region.
